[TowerTalk] Voltage at ends of yogi parasitic elements?

Consider switching in some inductance at the feedpoint as needed instead of the tips. Easier to implement most times and the voltages are more "reasonable" at the feedpoint.
At the tips the voltages will be crazy high.

If I’m driving the antennas with a full 1.5 KW, what would be the maximum voltage that I can expect at the ends of the PARASITIC elements?  Even a rough estimate would be useful, I just need to get a sense of what kind of a relay I would need to use.
