What sort of power line was running near his antenna? I just can't imagine normal domestic current, even multiphase doing that kind of damage to a person. Especially considering that the ladder should have taken most of it straight to ground. Off subject I know but…

I can hardly figure out how such a high voltage power line could run so low. Maybe the antenna was on a very high mast. According to his web site, that was a 20 kV line.
