[Amps] Decline of homebrewing?

[Joe]

Thinking further on this, just for giggles worth.

OK Tuner was an old Johnson Kw matchbox,
So technically there was no direct path to ground of the wire.

And, say a mile of like 18 Ga alum wire,, any losses?

After the initial giant fuse blowing effect, then the wire is not 
connected to any power anymore after the vaporization.

Just thinking out of the box here.
