Connect it to the ground on your electric meter with an appropriate solid copper wire and a wire fitting.
When you go to the big box hardware store ask the sales associates what you will need and they will help you out.
OR, PLAN B, call an electrician
Eaton Corp. came out with solid state breakers a number of years ago. At first, the breakers would pop when running an electric drill or mixer in the home. They are now improved but not to the point that they will not pop when an ultra-high ham radio is being broadcast in your immediate area. National Amateur Radio groups are currently working to encourage Eaton Corp. to eliminate the issue and Eaton Corp has told them there is a newer generation of breaker coming in the future but who knows when.
Luck.

Sounds good, but in the sand that makes up most of the soil in TV, the rod must be driven to ground water which may be as much as 20 feet down. In dry sand, the ground does nothing.
