Re: [Elecraft] Lightning

My antenna is a broad-banded, low-Q, folded-fan vertical, low profile at 
just 33 ft. tall on a city lot. It covers 160m thru 6m with just a few 
components in its "tuner box" at feedpoint on the ground. Of course 
everything is directly connected to Mother Earth ground, DC wise and RF 
wise, which Hiram Percey referred to as 'plumber's delight.' It has 36 
slightly buried radials and 38 ground rods in the back yard. Trees 
around here are much taller. Utility grounds are tied in. I sleep fairly 
well during storms.

I have a straight key which has leakage resistance; does just about what 
you describe...

My KX1 remains keyed when I use a straight key, but works fine when I change 
settings and use a paddle.  Any recommendations?
