Last year I experienced a lightning-induced pulse in a very close-up
and personal way. Was tinkering with an antenna fed with ladder line.
In the shack I was holding the (stripped) ends of the line in my left
hand, along with a piece of bare #3 AWG connected to my safety ground.
Suddenly felt a strong electrical jolt in that hand. About three
seconds later I heard the thunder...
Guess the Guardian Angel of Lids was in the shack with me that day... hi!
73 + don't do as I did!
