Ground-Wire

Ground-Wire
Use a multi threaded cupper-wire (Not solid!) with at least 20-40 square
millimeters of area.
If the ground-wire is going up a wood building-wall (Or other burnable
material) You should use some supporting distances to bring the ground-
wire out from the building-wall.
Newer connect the ground-wire to any other metal objects on the building.
(Balcony, Metal-roof, Roof-drain pipes, suers a.s.o.)

Mast structure connections.
Make a firm connection of the ground-wire and the metal of your antenna-mast
or other antenna supporting structure.
Use at least two Metal tube-clamps,- if possible drill wholes and use metal
(self drilling) screws to get good electrical contact.
If available use water proof (outdoors usage) Cupper-paste in between the
ground-wire and the metal of your antenna-mast or other antenna supporting
structure.
If antenna-mast or other antenna supporting structure is nonconducting - made
from nonconducting material, wood, glasfiber o.e. you also need to extend the
ground-wire lenght going al the way upp to the antenna mast or other antenna
supporting structure. This means slightly below the antenna it-self.
