I once ran a 14m vertical antenna with no top load and a huge base 
loading coil. Whilst beaconing I could hear a Morse hissing noise in 
the garden. Looking closer I found that the volts around the antenna 
were so great that the leaves and grass were moving whenever the Tx 
keyed!

The antenna was soon dismantled.
