Dale .....I don't know about Roger, but they did me...and it works...
..the other Senior Technician at a site in the Philippines got across
21Kv when the shorting bar on a big transmitter's capacitors failed to
drop....until after he had religiously grounded everything in the box..
so, he grabbed the rectifier plate cap bus to pull it off one of the
rectifier tubes, the shorting bar dropped, the transmitter briefly
recycled, and Don got the whole load right down through his body....
....
....but, happy ending (???)...he only lost his right index finger and
his right big toe....he had had his left hand firmly stuck in his back
pocket.....Hadiloski was Navy trained (I was Air Force trained) so I
will bet Roger learned the same thing....
