	Yes, back in the 1960s when I had my amateur station running
and was using a large inverted vee antenna over the house, I drew
steady sparks at the matchbox many times. It started with an occasional
snap here and there and built up as the storms approached. I had a very
good ground system there and all it ever did was arc to ground.
