19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — !f an outside antenna is con-
nected 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 Electrical 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 conductors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connectian to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 73.1.
