FM antenna stingers
A friend of mine reports the below, word to the wise, etc.:

=====================================

I got to experience “stinger heat” for the first time. It wasn’t a good thing. Trying to get that extra altitude, and seeing a new launch point, I went up to the very top, standing next to the base of the stinger. I didn’t stay there long, but I was there long enough that my left butt cheek and the back of my left leg felt like I was standing in front of a space heater. Once is enough for me.

Stingers are bad mojo. Be safe and jump "below" them or pass them as quickly as possible.
