For best RF safety, where should the ends and centre of a dipole antenna be located?

A transmitting dipole antenna can carry dangerously high RF voltages, particularly at the far ends where voltage nodes form. If someone accidentally touches or brushes against any part of the antenna while you are transmitting, they can suffer a severe and painful RF burn. To ensure maximum safety, both the center and the ends of a dipole must be mounted as high as possible, well out of physical reach of people and pets. Placing the antenna close to the ground for easy adjustment creates a highly dangerous environment that violates basic RF safety practices.
