I found John, K9UWA's reply very interesting. Seems a how-to manual
is needed for folks exposed to lightning and wanting protection technology.
I am fortunate to live in a nearly lightning-free area. We hear
thunder maybe one time every 3-4 years and I have only experienced

I agree with Brian, its not very easy to pull off all wires and cables if you
have a complex setup with multiple antennas and radios with many cables
attached. In the K1HTV Ham shack I use my K3 and a few other radios on multiple

that lightning comes in through ANY path it pleases, not just the antenna.
Time and time again folks say they unhooked their antenna but the
