Solectek antennas (2.4 GHz) and the SkyWay Bridge/Router do not require additional
grounding when mounted on antenna masts that are properly grounded per local elec-
trical and building codes.
Supply grounding if the SkyWay and its antenna are mounted on a non-penetrating
roof mount, a wall, or an ungrounded wooden mast. In these cases, attach one end of
a bond wire to one of the bolts on the SkyWay bracket. Attach the other end to
another mast (properly grounded), a building ground, or an NEC ground.
