I am installing an outside antenna mounted on the gable of a very rural house. This is a weekend part time place. The only way to ground here is by driving a grounding rod next to the house. My electric panel is currently grounded this way but on the other side of the house.The NEC(National Electric Code ) calls for grounding the antenna mast to the house electric panel and grounding the coax where it enters the house. Grounding the coax is relatively easy and driving a new rod is easy enough. Where I question the logic is in directing the lighting bolt into my main electric panel, it seems counter intuitive? Alternatively I can ground into a separate rod but what does this really do for me? Does a 6AWG wire actually handle a lighting bolt? What I am having difficulty with is that once the 100 year old cedar structure is struck by lighting it's all over anyway, isn't the place going to burn to ground regardless of what's grounded?

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
