HOWEVER, THE ANTENNA NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR. THE INSTALLATION BY A CONTRACTOR WILL INCLUDE PROPER COORDINATION WITH FACILITY OFFICIALS, COMPLYING WITH FACILITY REQUIREMENTS, PULLING ALL REQUIRED PERMITS, AND ENSURE LIGHTNING PROTECTION GROUNDING IS COMPLETED (TSA WILL PROVIDE THE ANTENNA (COMET CHA 250B VERTICAL ANTENNA) AND A COAXIAL IMPULSE SUPPRESSOR/ARRESTOR).
