That's true. You would probably need air-gap arrestors that can be
adjusted to not arc on normal transmitted voltages.

Still, the only really effective way of feeding a non-trap wire system on
several bands that I've encountered is to use open wire.

One of the best "air-gap arrestors" of the home-brew variety I have seen,
was made with a couple of Wide Gapped Spark-Plugs, threaded into a 1/4
Steel Plate that was bonded to a very deep Grounding System. The fellow
used GTO15000 to connect the spark-plugs to the Wire-Feeders. Worked
very well.......
