The NEC requires a lighting rod be grounded by a grounded with a grounding rod not bonded to house system.
Dish network requires there metal dish(lighting rod)be grouded as well. the problem is there want it grounded to the house system. I know this is wrong but can not get them to read the NEC code book correctly. The dish its are and mast are all metal the LNB is incased in plastic and is connected to the dish by a five inch plastic Y bracket. I have told them this gives the separation so that the proper NEC codes can be followed. My biggest problem is that they want the dish grounded but want us to use the messager wire attached to are cable. Now this wire is only about 20 gage so there proper ground is far from proper. So how can I get dish who wants a proper ground follow NEC codes
