First storm of the year, early Monday morning (2-28), it wakes me up at 4
AM. It damaged a lot of gear on a grain leg. I remember a product that is
like an upside-down, copper, "Chia-Pet" that you can put on the top of a
tower to dissipate a lightning strike in to many smaller "hits". I am ready
I have one on the tower at the office.

Doesn't seem to really change anything. Monday I lost one of the APs on it.

Is the thing in my picture the "static dissipator" you're referring to?
I don't think mine is very well grounded at all. I'll have to investigate
that. I would love to put one of these up

Yes. Mine is grounded with 2-ought copper wire running down each leg, bonded
to a ring of ground rods (probably 15 total) circling the tower.
I'll take a picture of mine and post it in a little bit.

Don't exactly remember offhand, but I'm thinking it was around $700. Cheap
insurance.
