                                 ABSTRACT

        This work was presented as a talk to  the  Homebrew  Special
        Interest Group (HB-SIG) of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society
        (RARS), on 15 January, 1991  and  was  revised  for  another
        presentation on 26 January, 1994.

        This  document  contains excerpts of the National Electrical
        Code (NFPA 70-1990) that, in the author's opinion, apply  to
        the   installation  of  amateur  radio  equipment  as  would
        commonly be found in most amateur  radio  stations.   Direct
        excerpts   from   the   Code   are  contained  within  inset
        quotations.   Paraphrased  excerpts  from   the   Code   are
        itemized.  The author's interpretation and discussion of the
        Code is set full-width.   The  author's  interpretation  and
        discussion  of  various sections of the Code is not meant to
        be all-encompassing, nor the official interpretation of  the
        National  Fire  Protection  Association,  nor of any offical
        governing body having legal authority of  jurisdiction  over
        electrical  installations,  but  is  meant  to  be used as a
        teaching tool for amateur radio operators.
