Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Golfcrow, the quick answer is no, the antenna will work without being grounded. However, we strongly recommend grounding any antenna that is installed outdoors. Proper grounding, in accordance with national and your local electrical codes, helps reduce the risk of damage from lightning and dissipates static electricity buildup. It also provides an added layer of protection if the antenna or mast were to come into contact with electrical wiring. For outdoor installations, always follow applicable local electrical codes and safety guidelines when grounding the antenna and mast. Thank you for asking a question.
