tion with respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-
ing structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig. A.

3) Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 AWG aluminum or No.
17 AWG copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger as ground
wires for both mast and lead-in.

b) Secure lead-in wire from antenna to antenna discharge unit and
mast ground wire to house with stand-off insulators, spaced
from 4 feet (1.22 meters) to 6 feet (183 meters) apart.

c) Mount antenna discharge unit as closely as possible to where
leadain enters house.
