If you have a good resource to share beyond Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur by N0AX, please do!

I want to mount a simple 6m aluminum dipole from my roof chimney.

    Fair warning, this rabbit hole goes deep … very deep!

    I haven’t met a shallow ham hole yet!

    laws and requirements for grounding (and associated lighting protection) vary across the globe and within a country

    Yes, was curious to get an international picture of practices here…

    your best bet is a locally licensed electrician or better yet, one who is also an amateur.

    Fair enough, you’ve inspired me to at least ask my club if we have an amateur radio electrician in the area. I do have a pretty simple station, however, so I had planned to do this myself. [edit: grammar fix]

      I think we need to clarify you want a locally -licensed PROFESSIONAL electrician who’s also a RADIO amateur. Even if it’s just for advice.

      It’s likely not difficult to actually do, just determining what’s required and permitted.

      Your club is a good starting point.
