I don't think the drain wire would be big enough to ground the mount. We ground the drain wire to the lug in the Canopy 300ss.

It would be great to have an outdoor rated Cat5 cable with an attached 10awg. A reasonable price IMO for a 1000' spool would be $200 - $250. Keep us posted if you run across any. The smallest ground I would be comfortable using is 12awg and we'll want to sure it is braided so the cable is not stiff. While on this subject, is a 4' long 3/8" diameter copper ground rod sufficient for a CPE installation? SkyWalker sells these for less than a buck each in 100 qty. and they include a ground clamp to attach the wire. I'm thinking about buying a 100 of them. They also have a decent price on their 10 awg ground wire, 500' spool for $59 but I don't know if it is solid or braided. Sincerely, Shannon D. Denniston, Co-Founder KyWiFi, LLC - Mt.

How well do you think a coax would work to ground the CPE? http://www.computercablestore.com/detail.aspx?ID=2098 It's not like I am trying to protect it from lightning (good luck) I just want somewhere for the static to go. I could break off the coax at the entrance to the house and bang a 4 ft ground rod in and call it good. Thoughts? Anyone know a cable maker who could attach a ground wire? -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
