I think he is talking about the Interceptor 10k (i10k was the way he put it)

In that case Steve at a1antennas told me to just ground the tower or mast (if its on a mast instead of a tower) to a grounding rod or two. And make sure the antenna is mounted to the tower/mast agains metal and not paint to make a good connection.

Should be good to go after that.

To get a good gorund you will probobly have to scrape the paint off where the antenna is touching the tower gor a good ground. If there is paint inbetween it will not be sufficiant
