antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure grounding of the lead-in wire to
