What's the minimum gauge wire that is acceptable for this connection?

Code.

I'm not aware of any electrical code that covers the wire gauge required to ground an amateur radio
and antenna.

Get acquainted. It is a very simple matter of a non-trivial issue.

Is a nice station grounding pdf from Polyphasor. Sorry for the tinyurl,
the original url is a mile long.

Everyone should have a copy, and the writer should get an award for his
or her clarity.

Richard is correct. It is simple, and it is not trivial.
