[Towertalk] Service drop danger

[Red]

Hi, David;

I believe you are correct.  Check the National Electrical Code, you can 
review it in your local library, and call the utility company for 
authoritative information.  Don't depend completely on a bunch of 
amateurs, although some of them will certainly give you good 
information.  Get the info you need from the authorities.
