Article 810 Radio and Television Equipment 810-1. Scope. This article covers antenna systems for radio and television receiving equipment, amateur radio transmitting and receiving equipment, and certain features of transmitter safety. This article covers antennas such as multielement, vertical rod, and dish, and also covers the wiring and cabling that connects them to equipment. This article does not cover equipment and antennas used for coupling carrier current to power line conductors. The rest of Article 810 is chock full of requirements specific to amateur antennas. But note that this stuff only applies in jurisdictions that have actually legally adopted either these articles or the entire NEC. Regards, Scott Douglas Not affiliated, available for hire.
