Bill:
Had to jump in here....
Here in NJ, the mast is the domain of the utility co's, and IF it's a new install...only electric utility lines on the approved insulator. (period) Anything hitching on & you will not get a tie-in.
As soon as the line crew depart, here comes the cable dude & the phone guy (Verizon)
Cable dude hangs on, goes to the splitter, runs a grd to ??? the rod...no, he puts a piece of flex strap around the 2-1/2" RGC.
Verizon cuts the GEC to the rod & puts a telco approved split bolt on with his #8 solid EGC.
So who gets the "red sticker"??? Cable guy has no lic or permit required; resi phone is "permit not required"; so ???????
All in a fun day's work.
BTW, the utilities here have guy requirements for masts exceeding 3' above the roof
