Steve, if i were to mount something like that,
and bring it to the radio by coax; how would
this be grounded for static and lighting?
i would rather ground outside and not at the
radio...thanks...

Be aware that grounding does not save your radio from a lightning shock
hitting your antenna. It will for some chance only prevent to burn down
your house. ALL electronical stuff in your house may be dead then.


If done right is does.

But for sure you can not do it by yourself and it will cost a LOT. And
at least there is NO insurance it will work under ALL circumstances.
Best (additional) way to go is to disconnect the antenna when leaving
the shack or lightning is coming up whilst you are in your shack.
