I wouldn't assume 1 pipe is good enough. The soil in your area has as low a conductivity as any place in the US. If you still have problems, a second ground pipe will cut the grounding resistance in half so is a worthwhile effort.
One of the cheaper places for quad shield is the ebay dealer in Aberdeen WA that always has coax for sale. Perhaps you or one of the Grayland guys could pick some up next month as I'm sure one of us will be out there.

So that should be enough. I probably will have to mail for Quad Shield RG6 as I doubt any of it is available on the coast. For the record, the local cable company (Charter) has leaky cable. For cable we have Fred Meyer & Radio SHack.
