removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts to
fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power lines. If the
antenna touches a power line, touching 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.

WARNING: Outdoor antennas must be properly
grounded to prevent static buildup and lightning
damage. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about
proper grounding of the antenna mast, connection
of coaxial cable to an lightning arrestor, size of
grounding conductors, location of the lightning
arrestor and connection of grounding conductors to
grounding electrodes.

Additionally, disconnect your radio from the outdoor
