It does. The last warning is slightly ambiguous. It could be interpreted
as "Do not attempt to install (the antenna) if (it is) drunk or pregnant
or both".

I found the longer version of that document on the antenas ditect website.

There are quite a few odd things in there but this one caught my eye.

perhaps because there will be all sorts of other signals about which might
overload the amplifier.

It's an American site. What is special about urban areas in the US that
would make mast-head amps unwise?

What's special is that in the US the amps are likely to cover
everything from 40MHz to 900MHz, so they will be affected by nearby
CB, police, ambulance, aeronautical, walkie-talkies, etc.

Bill,
does this mean that when doing your risk assessments for jobs you have
to ascertain if the installer is drunk or pregnant? If you answered yes
to either what action would you then take?

The latest Health and Safety in the Workplace regulations state that
if the installer is drunk, but not so drunk as to be legless, he must
use a harness with elasticated tether, which must be firmly attached
to a skyhook. The skyhook must comply with BS415b. Before the
commencement of work the installer must produce a 'Risk Avoidance'
certificate signed by God, confirming that the installer is in fact
drunk enough for the univeral rule that for the duration of the
drunkenness the installer cannot be seriously injured no matter what
he does applies.

If an accident occurs the installer must laugh hysterically if
conscious and anyone in the area must shout "I bet you can't do that
again!"

Legless drunks are excluded from these requirements for obvious
reasons. However there is a duty of care on all other operatives not
to run over them with motor vehicles or other plant. Legless drunks
should not be placed in skips designated for segregated waste, since
they might defectate and/or vomit and contaminate other waste.
Operatives in the vicinity of legless drunks must consider if
appropriate the use of hearing protection.

Pregnant installers have a duty of care to the unborn, so must ensure
that if he/she slips out unexpectedly adequate precautions have been
taken to catch he/she before he/she falls off the scaffolding. Merely
relying on other operatives to catch he/she is not adequate. A proper
fall arrest system, such as strong elastic knickers to BS 2009
(Military spec 60098), must be in place.

Ah Ha, thank you Bill, I had a feeling that may be the case. As always
a most informative answer.
