grounding antana

[superman]

I just bought a monkey made antanna and i put it on my truck. Can i run a wire from my antanna mount to a screw in the door?? Would that be a good source of grounding...

If it needs grounding, yes that is the way to go about it. But you shouldn't stop there. Next ground door to cab, then cab to frame, using as short of a strap as possible each time.

And another thing if you have some old coax lying around strip the coating off and beat the threading with a hammer. Flatting it out. This make for a great grounding device.

good luck
