Greg what choke? It is a U channel not a raceway. the steel does not wrap the ground conductor and does not create a choke. No current or counter EMF is formed until the channel becomes a tube.

The "bars" in that billboard appear to be copper pipe/tubing, not wire...

My guess is that they are actually printed on to the billboard in which case they would be made of ink

Theft of copper pipe is a big problem, too, FYI!

That is because the person who did the picture was an unlicensed hack, and did not know the difference between wire and pipe.

If they were real bars, they'd have been stolen.
