That's why you need an inductance from feedpoint to earth. Even a high-ish value resistor will bleed off any static before the charge gets high enough to cook your front end.

my table lamp can light up when i run the HF rig without the ATU into the amp..!!
use the ATU and all is good..!!
still over 1kw on CB is enough to light up most things..!!

wow!
I was just watching your 'long wire antenna' video and considering putting up one myself for some HF listening. What conditions were outside when the antenna was so angry, I mean is it normal? I like my radios you know..;)

That was one of the last sparks, before It was very very loud.
There was a huge thunderstorm and the longwire was still in the shack hanging next to the radiator!
The only time it ever happend! thank god!
Brilliant for listening, I use it aswell for my Yaesu FRG-7 and my Lowe HF125 reciever.
Thanks for your comment
