BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to procide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in US/
and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respec
