Use extreme caution when you
install or remove a base station
CB antenna. If the antenna starts
to fall, let it go! It could contact
overhead power lines. If the
antenna touches the power line,
your contact with the antenna,
mast, cable, or guy wires can
cause electrocution and death.
Call the power company to
remove the antenna. DO NOT
attempt to do so yourself.
