I have a mast, rotor and yagi TV antenna on my roof. The antenna is probably 15' feet above the roof. It has 12 or so large elements, and a similar amount of smaller elements. There are three guy wires. It was struck by lightning about eight years ago, and took out the rotor control in the house. There was no apparent damage to the antenna it is not in use, disconnected from the TV, but the antenna wire goes into the house. It is easily the tallest structure around the house, that is, no trees accept a tall pine about 80' away, which is close to the height of the antenna.
About the end of August and to mid-Sept. we have occasional electrical storms. We had a strong storm near our house 2 weeks ago. My question is should I have the antenna taken down or somehow grounded. If the latter what's a conventional way to do it? Copper wire from the base of the mast down the side of the house to a ground pipe? The antenna is about
20' from the end of the roof near it. I'm not sure of the material used for the mast. It may be aluminum.
