17. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines
or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep

with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding conductress,
location of antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode (see figure).
