The only thing better than pine trees might be cottonwood trees. That
is if you can stand all the fuzz they generate that gets into your air
conditioner compressor!

(2 WINLINK gateways). So we do the best we can. In the 19 years
we¡¯ve lived here, the trees have now grown considerably higher than
the house, and the 3-story house has $thousands of dollars worth of
lightning rods/ground wires. The antennas are lower than the trees
and not really that much higher than the house. One of them has a
good ground path before entry into the house, the other not so good.
In the 19 years, I think the only thing that ever even seemed to have
been harmed, was a DSL modem connected to the telephone lines. I¡¯m
not even sure it was harmed. Once the solar power system got screwed
up by a powerline hit, but it worked fine after being reset. I have
two complete sets of transient control systems on every input or
output of the solar power system.
I can¡¯t say enough how I think the best thing you can do is grow pine
trees taller than your antennas. On May 8, 2018, at 17:04, R. E.
