To the TREG powers that be :-), This makes eight(8) times that I received this message. Is there a way of not getting number 9? And no, this particular message doesn't like me that much, or at least I hope not. Best regards, Ron Pickard [email protected]

"Utility " poles and the power lines, tel lines, CATV lines and any related equipment mounted on or between them is governed by the NESC (National Electrical Safety Code), ANSI C2 published by the IEEE, not the NEC.

Thanks your concerned clarification Vic, but I can read just fine. The gent did not indicate that the "POLES" were exclusively for use with their transmitters he just asked about poles. The rear windows of my house face wooden poles which carry power lines so it appears that poles are used for many things (and not just for bad jokes). Seems to me there are $$ to be saved if a PCS provider is able to install on existing poles as opposed to providing new ones (it's been tried before). If you check the scope of NEC article 810 and you'll find a definition of what is applicable. Called up is radio and television receiving equipment as well as amateur radio transmitting and receiving equipment. The grey area is in what the manufacturer tries to define their transmitter as (i.e. PCS=radio??), whether the local code authority buys it and also whether all of the transmission equipment is one box mounted on a pole but separately located from their base station or whether the transmitter contains everything in one box or if it provides a feed to a separately installed antenna or..... Article 810 still easily applies if the conditions of installation are right. I echo your position on the use of conduit to run AC power lines, so does the NEC thru articles 225-20 and 230-50 to start. Regards, Kaz Gawrzyjal Nortel Safety Eng.
