   A thunderstorm was
building and sparks were jumping the Johnny balls in the guy wires.  It was
the static buildup on the antenna that got me.  Lesson learned!  I never go
inside an AM transmitter without shorting the antenna connection to ground.

GARY,
i don't think it was foolish at all, tho you did learn a lesson. 
between me and you i would have done the same also not thinking about 
the weather.
