Grounding the antenna/tuner

Radio Road

Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Hi. I recently bought an Akai AT-93 tuner and a yagi antenna. I'm in the process of installing the antenna and am not 100% certain about how to ground things properly. My plan is to run a ground wire from the antenna mast to my ground rod. I intend to run a second ground wire from the grounding terminal (on the rear of the tuner) to the same grounding rod. Is this sufficient, or should I also be using a coax grounding block at the entry point to the house? Seems to me that perhaps the grounding block is unnecessary or overkill, but I'm a bit of a novice and would really appreciate any advice. Thanks very much. -Ken
