Hope all are doing well! My question involves how to properly ground a 30' HAM/CB antenna pole I will be installing on my personal residence, for my new hobby. My antenna pole will consist of 30' of 1 1/4" RMC. 4 feet of the RMC will be in encased in concrete in the ground. I will be attaching the RMC mast to my soffit with 2 mini clamps, for vertical support, with roughly 15 feet of conduit, above my roof line. As of now, my plan consist of attaching a grounding clamp, at the base of my pole which will then attach to 3-5/8" x 8' copper-clad grounding rods, spaces roughly 6 feet apart. #4 solid copper will serve as my grounding electrode conductor. My existing 200 Amp 120/240 single phase service does not have a concrete-encased electrode or a water line ground. Only a single ground rod out by the meter base. I feel as though I should bond the antenna pole GEC to my main disconnect, instead of driving 3 more ground rods in the ground for nothing. Any advice?
