[TowerTalk] Fwd: Peak Voltage at the tips of ants ?

[Larry Banks]

Theoretically infinite.  I = 0, therefore V = infinite with any power at 
the tip.   However the real case is very complex and depends on the 
environment and therefore the actual impedance at the tip caused by 
capacitive end effects, etc.   I don't believe there is a simple solution.
