the mast and supporting structure. grounding ol the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit. Size ol grounding conductors. location ol
antenna-discharge unit. connection to grounding electrodes. and re-
quirements lrorn the grounding electrode. See Figure.

a - Use No, 10 AWG (5.3 mm) copper. No. 8 AWG (34 mm) aluminum.
No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm) copper-clad steel or bronze Wire. at larger.
as a ground wire.

b- Secure antenna leadin and ground wires to house with stand-oil
