Christmas Day 1967.
Snow falling heavily.
I had a 2 element Cubical Quad at 50 feet.
Separate feed lines for 3 bands.
I heard a loud CRACK. I kept occurring. Like an ignorant operator I had not grounded the unused feed lines. I finally realized that the coax was arcing at the PL 259. I grabbed it with my hands. I won’t do that again.
Fifty + years ago I was still learning. I continue to learn from my mistakes
