Discharging is not the idea. If all is well it will NEVER discharge anything. A nail with a good hooked ground strap in a broom handle is perfect. This is to keep you from making a sudden trip to the hereafter only. If it should ever actually be called on to work you will normally holler out the name of the Christian Savior in a loud voice! This is why folks in the business call them "Jesus Sticks!" ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 9:57 AM Subject: [AMRadio] Shorting stick
