of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes and requirements tor the grounding electrode.
KEEP ANTENNA CLEAR OF HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
OR CIRCUITS
An outside antenna system should be located well away from power lines,
electric light or power circuits and where it will never come into contact with
these power sources if it should happen to tall. When installing an outside
antenna, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lings,
circuits or other power sources as this could be fatal. Because of the
hazards invotved, antenna installation should be left to a professional,
