[AMRadio] ground sticks again

[Dennis Pharr]

I knew someone would bring that up.  No, I never did forget to remove the
clip leads.  If I had forgotten, then either the overload relay would kick
out the HV or the transmitter would have blown a fuse - either of which
could easily be repaired..........if you're still alive.

Hey Dennis did you ever forget to remove a clip lead and hit the HV button?
