Now, in the US, if you are in a RUBBER TIRED vehicle, and you rub AND pass
a typical 4800 volt Residential OR light industrial service line...
You will not notice it. KEEP GOING!!!
If the antenna is STILL IN CONTACT with this
power line AND you step out of your RUBBER TIRED vehicle....YOU WILL NOTICE
THAT!!! AS IN DEAD!!!
If you are tracked, you will see...arching, smoke...etc of your equipment
and with any luck, thats it. STAY IN YOUR MACHINE and keep going!!!!
Higher voltage lines, 15,000 and more, will be placed well above
your antennaes, HF, VHF, what have you.
If we are talking about a disaster area and lines are down but still hot,
then all bets are off.

Please Do This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!
This "BLOCKING CAPACITOR" I have been reading about, is merely a design
implementation of the RADIO MANUFACTURER. These folks were not looking at
Hi-Tension contacts with the antennas. They are looking at making the radios
work.
Think of the antenna as part of the vehicle body.
Just a metal tube coming off the body of your machines.
