While visiting this year’s Hamcation® Stephan, K4SHK heard a loud bang like a cannon going off. It turns out someone setting up their antenna let it contact high-power lines. The area was roped off while the electric company powered down the lines to remove the antenna. Stephan reports no one was injured but the radio was hooked up at the time and most likely fried. Looking around the camping area, Stephan noticed another accident waiting to happen (See photo to right). These stickers are required on antennas for a reason.
