IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near
power lines. You can be seriously injured or killed if any part
of the antenna, support or transmission line touches a power
line. Always follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to
the nearest power line should be at least twice the length of
the longest antenna, transmission line or support dimension.
