Alas, the balloon is loosing altitude at a steady rate. Now (10pm), below
19,000 feet (Pull up! Pull up!). Glad the battery is still powering the

Faster rates means wider transmission bandwidths, which means less room for

Hi Gayle,
There's a lot of information on lightning protection at:

I think you *definitely* want to ground any antenna tower.
There was a great talk on lightning protection at last August's Summerfest
in Austin. The speaker had a contest-grade station,
Interesting, especially as I'm learning CW from one of Gordo's CD sets
(practicing with both straight key and paddles).
Note that the Fifth Edition of *The Art and Skill of Radio-Telegraphy*
(updated 2013, not-for-free, but modestly priced) is available at:
