Family Members Killed by 'Hot' HAM Radio Antenna

Here's an awful story which just missed the cutoff for this year's "Top 10 Scary Radio Stories of 2009". From Palm Bay, Florida comes this: "Three members of a family who were electrocuted by 13,000 volts while trying to erect a radio antenna in Central Florida were identified on Tuesday," reports clickorlando.com.

It seems a father, mother, and son were attempting to put a HAM radio antenna in the back yard of a relative's property when the 17-year-old son "...lost control of the pole and it struck an overhead power line."
