Does anyone put any kind of lightning protection on their coax anymore?
I've been looking around lately and most of them say that they don't protect from a straight on hit....and with the energy in lightning..... I would say NOT!!!!!!! But what DOES everyone do to "make themselves giggle" when it comes to lightning protection on an antenna.... like the venerable old A99?
I know about ground rods and heavy wires/straps to the mast..... but that doesn't offer any protection to the signal...
Who always keeps "protection" handy???? (antenna related!)
