But a bird can perch on my antenna wire while I transmit 100 watts and it stays there seemingly without a care in the world. How come? You could probably hang by one hand from a 20 kV power line and be OK as long as you didn't complete a current path to another wire or ground. You could probably hang by both hands if they were close together. I would not want to try it, though. When I worked in broadcast radio years ago, I was always amazed that service personnal would climb the 10 kw tower hot to change lights. They stated they could feel potential between their hands as they climbed. Win, wolz |
