Is there a way to make or build a grounding system to attach the antennas into when leaving the rig(s) in lightning season? Like, make a ground wire with SO-239's and banana type plugs, and plug all

I live in a low density hit area in central Maine during the summer and I am surprised that it is low according to the chart posted above. My area is a lightning belt and we have some wicked and

Clete: Yep, textbook examples of letting what energy gets to your radio result in current through it. Not so strange about the damage from the AH-4 control line. Need to treat that just as you would

All: Jon did a good job listing individual items related to lightning protection for a station. I think what's missing here though is a philosophy and strategy. I see the philosophy as "Dissipate

Thank You Steve, I appreciate the information. Local hams here are suggesting I get rid of my coax section and run the window line all the way to the tuner (for performance not for protection). Is

Jon, The problem with unplugging everything is after a while, you tend to forget. Unplugging the coax from the tuner protects the radio, at the expense of the house, since even a nearby flash can

Okay, Help. 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

Keep in mind also that all the coax surge suppression in the world won't protect you from a surge on your power distribution.? Mark Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone

All: I fully agree with Steve, although I do believe there are ways to do good lightning protection for not much additional money, as long as the station is planned with that in mind. I also agree

Many hams have no lightning protection and even more have inadequate protection. If you live in an area where the lightning flash density is lower and the attractive profile of your site is less, the

I must first say that I don't have a tower, the trees are higher than my antennas, and we have not so far had a strike on this property since we moved here in 1957, and I have not been struck

In many areas it should be fairly easy to find a ham that also is employed either in the commercial broadcast industry or the commercial two-way industry. If they are in a technical capacity in one of

Here are links I've posted previously over the years, consolidated under a relevant subject line for easier searching in the future. "How to Protect Your Home and Its Contents from Lightning" by IEEE.

Thanks Peter.:)

Everybody know that the current prefer the path with the lower impedance. For sure my problem came out because the grounding system of my station had a lower impedance than the antenna and its mast.
