[Amps] Hot stick

[Jim Carr]

We always made our own 50 years ago. Get a long nylon rod from tme harware 
store. Attach a heavy wire hook to one end like #12 or 10 house wire solder 
a length of braid to it and put an aligator clip on the other. Some guys 
hooked them in permanently and clipped the rod to the under side of the lid 
in the plug in coil days. Nothing is more exciting than 2500 volts on the 
coil you are about to unplug.

Looking to find a source for a HV discharge wand like one finds in 
commercial xmitters. Anyone know of a good source? I have checked the evil 
empire along with googling. So far no luck.
