A loong time ago I was measuring the output frequency of a 25 Watt Navigation beacon transmitter (about 300khz) with a hand held counter at the antenna when it arced over to the meter and then my hand . The arc entered between my thumb & finger leaving a small cauterized hole It felt like a needle had been inserted there and all the way up my arm. It took forever to heal the entry wound. It smelled like burning flesh. I have never been curious again about how bad a shock might be. I just don't do it.
