[Lowfer] Vertical antenna - off topic

[J. B. Weazle McCreath]

Hello Lowfers,

This is an off topic question concerning vertical antennas
that are insulated from ground.  If the bottom end of the
antenna was connected to ground (earth) via the coil of
a sensitive relay, would the buildup of charge due to a
nearby T-storm be enough to trip the relay?
