Thanks, Chris.
I've done a bit or research on the subject, and think I have a reasonable
grip on the necessary steps. I have an 8' ground rod driven into the
ground directly under the spot where my antennas mount. #6 solid copper
from the rod to a heavy aluminum plate, where the arrestors will be
mounted. A #6 solid copper wire from the plate to the antenna mounting
structure.
About the only thing you left out is the interconnection between this new
ground rod and the existing house ground.
Sounds like you must live in Florida. The best source of information is
the lightening lab at University of FL.
I've never read a good research backed paper on plastic v. metal conduit.
You can use metal conduit as the bonding conductor between grounding
systems, for one thing.
I bet it does matter. I use iron pipe outdoors then after it gets indoors
switch to plastic. Practical reasons. The flexible plastic conduit is
just easier to use
