To make a short story long - A few years back I rigged a long wire antenna out to a tree at the south edge of my palatial estate. I used wire from Radio Shack, and it fell down after a while. I recently found some AWG 16 stainless steel wire on eBay and have rigged a new long wire. But now...
Curiosity made me connect stuff to the lead. First time I ever heard of static electricity remaining constant for days at a time. But I'm keeping a 30 K bleeder on there!
So I just replaced a 220 foot long wire out to my treeline - with a Fluke meter, I measure -26 volts at the business end. Source impedance is about 200K. What's the DC coming from?
