IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Location of your Antenna
Before attempting to install your antenna, decide on the best
location to install your antenna for both safety and performance.
To determine a safe distance from wires, power lines and trees:
1. Measure the length of your antenna and multiply by 2.
2. Add this measurement to the length of your tower/mast.
If you are unable to maintain this safe distance, STOP!
Most antennas are supported by tripod masts or pipe masts attached to the
chimney, roof, or to the side of the house. Generally, the higher the antenna,
the better it performs. Good practice is to install your antenna about 5 to 10
feet above the roof line, away from power lines and other obstructions.
Avoid this
location!
Safest
Location
NOTE: If antenna is mounted in either of these
two locations, the safest distance from power
lines should be twice the length of the antenna
plus the length of the mast.
