What about mounting the antenna on the side of the metal pole, with the top of
the pole extending a foot or more above the antenna?
The idea is to have the lightning bolt strike the pole, but not the antenna.
The cable shield would need to be insulated from the pole, but grounded on
entry to the building.
Would the pole disturb the GPS signal to any noticeable extent?
Cheers

I would think that if a lightning bolt hit that close to the antenna, it
would still cause considerable damage. Think EMP.
