Checked the rod (and drove it in tonight) and it is steel and what looks like bronze then copper coatings. Went in straight, but was a bear to drive. Sweated like a pig. The clamp has a "V" notch to help hold the wire in place. I already bought some stranded 6 AWG. I'm not too worried about lightning as my dish is tucked in by my 2-story chimney and is only about 8 feet off the ground (for snow/ice removal)I've got 1694A for the cable and Canare F's and Canare crimp tools. I'm waiting on my Canare 5-way stripper! What is your S-Vid recipe? Better than AR and the like?
Follow Ups:
Forgot to tell you, stick a garden hose in the hole and pound away, makes a huge difference when driving the grounding rod in ..The svid cable is 4 runs of 1506a, Got some new connectors and I'll look into where to order them...

What is the construction? Did you unsheath the coax, just twist all together, or let hang loose? Are all the shield braids cross-connected at the ends, used as a floating ground shield (source end grounded)?
I'll send the pictures w/instructions off line.
