[Loraine1971]

Im a newbie. I know NOTHING about radios. I just got an old 1970s radio shack archer 5/8 base station antenna. Im wondering how to best ground my antenna.

hams will say multiple earth grounding points/rods . reality shows it can work with no earth grounding . it depends on what you want to do and if you're having noise issues . BTW . mobile systems can work extremely well with no earth grounding . i suggest if you can earth ground do it . if money is tight or grounding is more effort than you want to do try it without and see what your results are .
