If this is totally against the rules for me to ask a newbie question here, I apologize and please ignore.
I just got interested in Numbers Stations (as a math teacher, I love numbers and codes, and when I played some recordings I found online for my students, they were totally creeped out - which was a bonus).
I got myself a Tecsun PL-600. I'll be really excited if I ever get to hear a Numbers Station live -- at this point I'm just interested in hearing stations from around the world, and particularly folk music of other countries.
The Tecsun PL-600 came with an antenna, maybe 20 feet long(?). My office is on the second floor of my house. I've run the antenna out my window and attached it to a tree, diagonally from my house.
My incredibly newbie question is: Do I need to worry about lightning? As long as I keep the antenna unplugged from the radio during a lightning storm, will I be OK? Obviously I haven't done anything to "ground" my antenna, but all it amounts to is a wire running from my window to a tree, about 12 feet off the ground. There are much taller trees all around the house.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
