That's a lot of wire just under ground.
Yup as I was looking up at the roof AC yesterday, I figured it probably is grounded, one way or another.
As for the thickness of the roof. I'm installing an 8'-6" fiberglass whip.
Where I plan on setting up gets zero protection from the wind so the mount has to be very sturdy.
A good 70mph gust would rip a hole in the roof if it isn't reinforced with a plate to spread the load. I guess I could guy it too.

I was thinking about a shock absorber washer since they're offset/recessed/concave. I could countersink it into the ceiling so the stud can reach.
I need to drill a hole in it regardless.
I have to see what I have available in my parts piles.
