First, tell me how one "burns TNT". It is a high explosive. I
think its "burn rate" would be pretty fast, and not manageable.

That guy's empty skull cavity has a lot of free space in it.

TNT burns just like Sterno. In WWII and Vietnam TNT was used to cook on
just like the Sterno can's were. It is very stable in this decomasition
mode. One can shot it with rifles while burning and it just continues
to burn. Been there, done that, many times.....

Bruce in alaska who also has decomposed TNT the FAST way as well.....

While the thread might be interesting to some readers, and granted that the original topic had
something to do with arcing associated with antennas, the discussion of explosives is very off-topic
for rec.radio.amateur.antenna. It might be appreciated if the cross-posting came to an end.
Thank you.

Point well taken. It's off-topic in sci.electronics.basics as well.
I apologize for participating.

Remember Doc Brown from the _Back to the Future_ movies? Do you
have an "impossible" engineering project that only someone like
Doc Brown can solve? My resume is at http://www.guymacon.com/

Only because you do not use enough output power :-)
