Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is

connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage

surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA

No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of

grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
