One antenna 80 meter dipole at 35¡¯ hung from the trees.? Ladder line to the entry point on the house. 1:1 Balun and 10¡¯ of coax to the tuner.
When not in use, I unplug my UPS devices from the mains and I unplug the coax from my tuner.? Suggestions on anything else that is needed?

Now when I AM using the radios I have to UPS devices each rated pretty high for surge to power everything but I have nothing for the antenna as Im not sure what I could do.? Could someone offer an opinion that is simple?? I do not use the radio during thunderstorms or lightning within 15 or 20 miles and I live in a lower area with plenty of object
taller than my antenna in the surroundings.? Wish I had a 200ft tower but still waiting for publishers clearinghouse to visit J
