Don't try this at home!!! Bzzzt
This YL is installing her first antenna she made herself,
the antenna looks good, however, take notice of the
house service wires, then the antenna mast, followed
by the Telco/CATV wires.


Notice anything odd?

She is between the electrical service going in her house,
and the antenna mast.
The chances of her grounding off and getting fried are
a quite good here if she slips or if the mast moves.
Now, think to storm season, those wires bouncing around
could contact the antenna, while she is in her shack and
BZZZZZZZZT.
