           	| At our clubhouse, (homebrew 4-1000 amp at 4800 volts) I came out during a cw contest and the ends of several of the radials had sparks continuous with the cw being
 transmitted (no problem copying whatsoever).  The ground was still partly snow
 covered and very wet and luckily so were the leaves that were in the spark path.  No
 fires were started but I started thinking about danger of someone touching the
 radials near the end.
