Also one thing I have to mention is that my vertical is about 50 to 60 feet from my house. I’ve read that I may have to drive a ground rod every 16 feet or so and bond them, but that seems a bit excessive. It would be much easier if I can bond the two grounds by running the wire through the PVC conduit that I have my coax going through. | ||

Is it ok if run the bonding wire in the same conduit as my coax? | ||

I’m putting in a 30 foot vertical antenna and plan on putting 60 50 foot radials. The question that I have is that I assume I should drive a ground rod into the ground at the antenna and connect the radials to the ground rod as well. I also assume that I have to bond the ground rod to the ground rods coming for the main electric as well. To bond the grounds together can I run the #6 wire through the conduit that I ran from the antenna to the house or should that be outside of the conduit? |
