Just wanted to reiterate Jim's advice and share a story... Years ago, my Elmer showed me how to use a small cheap AM transistor radio (seems that lower quality ones seem to work best) to locate line

That might get you close but its also dangerous if something is getting ready to let go.   There are more accurate and safer ways. Ty K3MM  Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS Just wanted to reiter

You should NEVER knock suspect poles. That is VERY dangerous. You mention right or wrong - that is very DANGEROUS. Do not knock poles - you could be harmed! Or worse! Find the problem - then alert th

Further to the original subject - someone commented about the likelihood of lightning striking one of the HV towers.  A couple of months ago I had a near hit, as measured by the lack of any delay bet

Lightning induced voltages can do a lot of damage, it is important to have proper bonding, single point ground and MOV or similar devices on the rotators and switches. John KK9A Further to the origin

One reference I found stated the "kill radius" for electronics (semiconductors) is 300ft from a primary strike. The same radius for a person is 50ft. Presumably the ground voltage gradient, the capac

Rules of thumb like that are almost useless.  It would GREATLY depend upon the type of semiconductor.  MOS memory would be pretty vulnerable, while bipolar power rectifiers would be very much less so
