I agree. Had a TV taken out with a surge through the AC caused by a nearby
lightning strike. Also had a laptop modem fried by a surge on the telephone
cable. However, wouldn't the surge protection offered by modern AC line
protectors take care of the AC mains to the equipment? I'd hate to think I had
to
crawl under the tables in the shack to unhook everything each time we had some
lightning.
