strike
(Lurking here :-) Very interesting videos, but why
would anyone hang a cable between two blocks of flats?
Maybe a boy in one wanted his own telephone line to a girl in
the other, or something like that.
...when I was a kid
we lived on the fifth floor of such a block: http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=49.584244,10.989863&z=18 .
Never managed to hear anything on mediumwave with my "Radiomann" AA119
detector set - indoor antenna, surrounded by reinforced concrete.
Now I wish I had tried to string a wire to the neighbouring
block.
Reminds me of the time, some decades ago, when I was working
in a London hospital; one of the electricians could get away with anything, but
when he strung a cable between the tower of labs and his workshop, he could see
no problem so I had to refer the matter to a senior power to get it
removed
- Julian, G3TFR
... so it was that
"Senior Power" who sent a lightning bolt, which then vaporized the
wire?
