Don't panic, the following is WAY above #AmateurRadio power levels, but it does illustrate a point. Guy think it's fun to hold a piece of grass against an AM broadcast tower to hear the broadcast in the arc. He's even wearing gloves. About 1:30 into it he's jumping around in pain. That wasn't power line frequency. The RF passed right through those gloves into his body and down to ground. He's lucky he didn't do worse than a silly dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9UO9tn4MpI #RF #RFburns #Think #BeSafe
