The original was made for CB.Maybe due to the power limit?? Or its aluminum.
I would think you should not install an antenna in a place that if it would fall over it would land on a power line. I wouldn't.Looks like a real winner to me.
Thing about aluminum antennas are that if one puts one up, and it should fall across power lines and you get electrocuted and die, then you were a stupid CBer that didn't know the danger.
But if you are an enlightened amateur radio operator and get electrocuted, it must have been an unforeseen accident.
lulz . . .
Just be aware that if the antenna should fall over for any reason whatsoever, that it will not be in a place that can fall on power lines. People still get killed from that. If it should happen to fall across power lines DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE IT OR EVEN TOUCH IT. Call your local power company and they will come out and deal with it.
Yeah; you'd think . . .I would think you should not install an antenna in a place that if it would fall over it would land on a power line. I wouldn't.
... edit...from what I have read there are more hams electrocuted by antennas falling into power lines
