RE: HFAC safety

I learned the hard way about HF shock - in high school I was a Ham operator and I was outside trying to do some measurements of my "inverted V" transmitting ant. which was energized to 75w at about 3.8Mhz. I got the end of the antenna from my SWR bridge a bit too close to the transmitting antenna and zap! Left a dark pit of a hole in one finger as the signal found a nice short path to ground!
