Here is today's Ham Shack Safety Tip:
Cancel ALL tower work if there is any threat of thunderstorms.
Lightning can strike as much as 20 to even 200 miles away from
the parent thunderstorm, and the tower is basically just one big
lightning rod. If you are on it, and the tower is struck,
you could be severely burned, if not fatally electrocuted.
