This is a common misconception, but anyone with any basic knowledge knows
that although the electricity drops onto the fence, it's only the voltage
part.  Without the current it can't power your big amp.  There's only enough
there to give you a good shocking.

See you all on 160M tonight. Don't touch the fence.
