Default type/length of wire and connectors for external antenna?

You should at least provide a good ground for the coax screen at the
antenna feedpoint. Hopefully, this will be remote from the house. For
good luck, you can also ground it where it enters the house (and
anywhere else you care to along its length), but it's the ground at the
antenna end which is the most important.


I've never bothered and have had good results.
