On 27 Nov 2003 17:02:33 GMT, Mike Ekholm just had to say:
: I will be puting a intenna mast up on the roof, and I plan on
: running a wire from the mast to a grounding rod. My house is grounded
: via just the water pipe, as far as I can tell, no grounding rod connects
: to my electrial service. Do I need to run a wire from the grounding rod
: to my water pipe to prevent a grounding loop?

Thanks for the responses folks. I will run 10ga from the mast to the ground
rod, and I will also run a wire from my house ground system to the ground rod
to prevent a ground loop. I will need to do some code reading to find
what size wire I need to run from the house gound system to the rod.

Thanks!
