I'm sure a major reason W8JI leaves everything connected is because it would
take him about 4 hours to disconnect it all! :^)
Jim, you have chosen to take the risk of leaving everything connected. Good for
you; it shows your confidence in your own engineering. But surely you'll agree
that it i

Imagine that, somehow, you could know for certain that tonight you were going

We may not know the tune but the encore is sad and familiar: The cost to
repair the damage is equal to the deductible on your homeowner's insurance
policy. "Ask me how I know."

I don't have sufficient information to agree that what Jorge described

Jorge,
In short, no. As has been stated repeatedly lightning protection is the
responsibility of the owner, not the radio vendor.
Can we move on to other topics please?

Asked, answered (no, there isn't a more robust device); it's up to the
station owner/designer to protect the station, not a manufacturer.
Let's move on please.

Lightning is like wildfires which burn some houses or land but not
others. There is no rhyme or reason why some devices are not damaged

inoperable.
