The grounding rod you see is Galvanized, and req. by NEC code. Copper will ROT. (it also tooooo soft to drive 8feet into the ground)
I suggest driving a rod (see prev. post) by the dish and run #6 wire 6" below ground around to the Service Ground and use a pipe or teardrop clamps at both ends. Not to a water pipe. Remember Insurance companies are in the business of not paying claims!
Good Luck
