Dick,
We have tried anchor lines to no real avail. The helicopter crews actually attach a wire to the helicopter frame and then to the high line they are working on. The lineman then have a protective suit that is also "grounded to the helo frame. They found that although the lineman were not receiving any shocks they were disturbed by the hair standing up on their arms. Unlike our problem, these lines are real electricity not static and they are at such high potential they can arc across 14 ft.
