Dear TT: The voltage gradient in a broadcast antenna ground field, in the event of a direct strike has been modelled, and confirmed by measurement as 1,000v/m. This was reported in BroadcastEngineeri
I was always taught to hop out of the field with both feet tightly together, hitting the ground simultaneously, thus no electrical difference between them. 73, Carl VE9OV ____________________________

<snip> Probably either the 110 touching the chassis (I had a Yaesu do that) or a faulty bypass cap on the 110 in the rig. OTOH it could even be a faulty plate coupleing cap, but most rigs have a chok
One of the absolutely classic electrician's errors is to reverse the two wires at an outlet, placing the supposedly cold line 115 volts above ground. All then usual stores sell a very inexpensive neo
