In that case, at least, the capacitor in question will protect the set and its operators I suggest , against the common 240V power lines , these domestic lines are far more common in a city /suburban environment . The kV lines are usually seen in rural areas, and are normally suspended at higher heights , unlikely to hit a whip antenna . Mike
