Perhaps I'm overlooking something obvious, but how would I know,
for sure, if I took a hit?
Am I supposed to run home and stare out the window at the tower every
storm?
All I know is the formula in the Polyphaser book that predicts the
frequency of hits says I should take a hit every 2-3 years. I've
never noticed one in 7 years...
