[TowerTalk] DO *NOT* WORK ON ANTENNAS During Rain

[Pete Smith]

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 neon light tester that will warn of this and a number of other conditions.  You just plug it into the outlet.

Don't ask how I found out. ;^)
