Things You'll Need
Instructions
Locate an area, on the ground, that is about three to four feet away from the base of the antenna mast where the CB antenna is mounted.
Turn the metal detector on and follow the manufacturer guidelines for your particular model to ensure there are no electrical lines running underground, before driving the rod into the ground.
Put the gloves and safety goggles on to avoid injury to the hands or face as you prepare to hammer the ground rod into the ground.
Hammer the ground rod into the ground, until about six inches are left extending up out of the ground.
Wrap one end of the copper wire around the base of the antenna mast. Stretch the wire over to the ground rod. Wrap a few turns tightly around the end of the ground rod and the cut way any excess wire with the cutters.
Wrap a hose clap around the antenna mast and ground rod, where the copper wire is attached, to secure the wire in place and form a good connection.
