I have used outside antennas for most of my life and never had a lightning strike (that i know of) I always hear Hams going to take down an antennaor unscrew the coax when a storm is coming. I WOULD NEVER EVER touch a coax or antenna if I couldhear thunder or if a storm was near.. Trying to protect your gear may end your life. Eddie (NU5K)
