Power Lines -
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, or 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 power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NEFA 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding conductress, location of antenna-discharge
unit, size of grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode (see figure).
