Dear Jim,
I'm one of them kinda guys that turn off the breaker and use a meter to
see if there's any juice.
After being knocked on my ass a bunch of times in the last 43 years
of working with broadcast nonsense I figure the deck is stacked
and it's better to LOCK-OUT / TAG - OUT AND VERIFY
even if it's in a hotel room ham shack.
Oh yeah, the hotel manager is a Navy Signalman. He sent the
maintenance guy around to help me string the dipole off the roof.
