Figure 38: Grounding the mast using RG-6 non-quad shielded cable
The mast (which is the metal pole in this mount method) is
grounded to the satellite dish via an NEC-approved ground wire
and clamp. The mast clamp must have a good electrical
connection to the mast pole. The RG6 coaxial cable shield
connects the satellite dish to the ground block. An NEC-approved
ground wire connects the ground block to earth ground using one
of the three schemes shown in Figure 34 on page 78.
