One of my duty stations was a transmitter site in Puerto Rico. One day
I was checking the grounding wires on utility poles on the base. One
pole had a ground wire that had broken about 5 feet above the ground.
When I touched the end remaining on the pole I got a burn in my fingers
and hand. The pole was about half a mile (maybe more) from the antenna
for a million watt ELF transmitter used for communications to submarines.


I don't think I would worry about the leakage from a 700 watt
microwave then. You are already "well done" inside ;-)
