2. ANTENNA INSTALLATION
A fixed antenna should be installed in a predominant area, possibly emerging
over the entire surrounding topography, including the canopies of trees.
Normally the antenna is raised up and fixed on the top of a mast. In some
areas, especially urban ones, it may be necessary to observe the regulations
in force in the specific region. In order to avoid unnecessary inconvenience, it
is advisable to check this matter with the authorities entrusted.
