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 ;-) |
