should be taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

18. 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
