[Lowfer] Arcing PL-259s

Sat Feb 9 12:45:20 EST 2013 

Back when I was in college, the University of Illinois club station
W9YH had a double extended Zepp up 150 feet fed by open-wire line
spaced a few inches. We had two insulators through a board replacing a
window for wire entrance to the shack. One winter night we had a
really heavy, thick, moist snowstorm. Sparks were jumping between the
insulators separated about 3 inches. They were pretty loud and
impressive!
