Hi all,
Some time ago I had occasion to work on a radio mast installing lights at
different levels. The mast was hot with RF while this work was in progress
except from midnight on Sunday until 2.00am. this was the only period when
equipment could be brought unto the mast. A set of wooden steps with a hand
rail was provided and if the nails on the handrail were touched they
actually burned into your hand.
The most strange effect I noticed was music and voices which appeared to be
coming out of my pockets, this was caused by coins with the oxide on them
acting as rectifiers I could also feel the coins vibrating.

Have a Happy New Year everyone,
