It could be 100% safe if there were no wires leading back to the house. A battery powered receiver that connected back to the house over WiFi would be safe. Use a solar panel and a lead/acid battery for power. The only trouble is the added cost and a direct hit would still cost you a few hundred $$. Less risk is to expose only some minimum portion of the system to lightening then run fiber optic cable back to the house. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
