ANSI/NFPA N0.70-1984, provides informa-
tion with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
