Power Lines- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines, other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep  from touching
or approaching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. Installing an
outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be left to a professional antenna installer.
