When I was a teenage in the 60's, I helped my buddy Henry, WB4LEQ with his
Gotham cubical quad.  He was watching the SWR meter while I was up on a
ladder adjusting the reflector tuning link, and got a nice RF burn when our
'He keyed, I adjust' got out of whack.  Check this
out...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NHgQyLQsIxA   you can hear the radio
station in the arc.  I have a friend in High Point NC that is next door to a
17KW AM station, with his antennas, a vertical and 2 EFHW's 400 feet from
the AM tower.
