I've observed clear-air charge on a TV antenna (about 30' above ground
level) which was sufficient to create a visible spark when I touched
the center connector of the coax to a grounded static-drain block.

Didn't Art Bell, W6OBB, former host of Coast to Coast AM, report 300 volts
on his loop antenna? Even with low current, a kiss from that voltage will
make you fall out of love.
