If you're not convinced after reading the responses, turn on your
radio the next time a lightning storm is anywhere nearby -- or for
that matter, anywhere within skip propagation range. Then explain how
it is your radio is hearing DC.

I think we're arguing semantics on this. I spoke in pure terms... there
is no argument that Lightning itself is a DC current. The fact that it
is
so short may bring the other RF issues to play, but that is not where my
thoughts were when speaking on the DC issue..

Ever hear that the lightning strike is an oscillating series of
cloud-ground-cloud-ground currents? Sounds not too much like DC.

DC to daylight in fact. Well, light at least. 8^)

And all this radiation happens because of a severe lack of
equilibrium.

Art can't fool Mother Nature.


I once suffered a severe case of lack of equilibrium, probably related
to an adolescent experiment with ethanol containing liquids. It left a
lasting impression on me and I avoid the state with great prejudice.

But since I have regained my equilibrium, my friends say that I am
positively radiant! Perhaps our friend speaks sooth?

All depends if sooth is an adjective or a noun.

The OED (a notably gay English dictionary) offers
"soothing, soft, smooth"

Well, fine, but I'm not sharing any hotel rooms...
