This site mention some rule numbers
==============================
Antenna systems add yet another dimension to the electrical code,
especially if the access point or antenna will be mounted outdoors. For
the most part, you need to be concerned with the grounding of the outer
conductor of antenna transmission line (coaxial cable) when the antenna
is placed outdoors. Pay careful attention to the proper grounding
distances, bonding, and soil conductivity.

This is to prevent and reduce the effect of surges produced by lightning
strikes. Article 810 covers 'Radio and Television Equipment' while
Article 820 covers 'CATV and Radio Distribution Systems' in the NEC.
Also note the guidelines for conductors entering a building in Article
800 part II. With the rapid expansion of both consumer and enterprise
grade wireless devices, the electrical code has some catching up to do
and more detail on WLAN may be covered in the 2005 version.
