Dear Willis,

Now, now! Cut Paul some slack! He'll see some real RF when we steal WCSL-
1590's (Cherryville, NC) new 10-kW rig and haul it down to Abbeville and
dump it in front of his sody-pop machine. And when he gets his CP for
50 kW ND/U on 770 kHz.

It's safe to work a "hot" tower as long as you take precautions.

And you don't get "shocked" on RF, you get burnt.
