In the Amateur Radio Forum, I've been reading many questions asked about Ham Radio Safety. Most have been posted in the corresponding threads like antenna in the antennas threads, etc.
I think that we need in this forum an Amateur Radio Safety thread as the first thread and have it stickied to keep all the threads about radio safety together.
Radio, antenna, antenna tower, cable safety and grounding is no laughing matter. While there is no prevention of a direct lightening strike, all thoughts, ideas and experiences with radio safety would, in my opinion, certainly help the newcomers and elmers, too. Lightening, radio frequency and high voltage should be included.
What is the consensus here? Should we ask to have this? A "one stop shop" here would at the very least inform new amateurs about safety, more so than what is seemingly lightly touched upon in the license testing.
