Bill:
Don't forget to terminate the line with a short to protect the
line from being damaged by high voltage during a strike.
Also, if you disconnect a transmission line inside of your house,
be sure to throw it out the window and a some distance away from
the house!!!

Further investigation shows that any surge suppressor in the
transmission line of my non-resonant antenna is not likely to
work.? I am left with the direct grounding of my CWSByteMark 9:1
balun ()
and simply disconnecting the antenna from my system when not in
use.
Disconnection is standard operation where I live in central
Florida, even with surge devices installed.? Thunderstorms are
intense here and lightning is always a risk.
