Antenna grounding

Of course, electrical grounding is important for any metal object sticking up on a roof. I soldered a 14 gauge copper wire to the mast, threading it into the attic just like I did with the signal cable, then soldered again to a copper plumbing pipe. A little spray paint makes it look amazingly professional!

Notice my roof covering is metal tile (it only looks like clay tile from a distance). I wonder what effect it'll have during a lightning strike...
