DON'T TOUCH THAT
================

You bridge the copper wire across the transmitter contacts. It is a
perfectly ordinary mistake, performed with confidence.

There is a blue flash. The equipment dies. For several seconds, Lake
Koshkonong itself broadcasts AM radio: weather, a polka, a preacher,
and one very clear announcement that the lake is closed for repairs.

When the power returns, the transmitter room is full of wet footprints.
Larry eventually discovers what remains and says the only technically
useful thing anyone says all night:

    "I told you not to touch that."
