I've talked to a few folks here in Colorado who use metal chimney sweep
brushes to do the same thing on their towers. Attached to the top of the
mast, the brush supposedly dissipates charges. I'm told that when they
bring a tower down after a few years, the brushes show signs of high
voltage activity. May be a whole lot cheaper!

I just learned about an item called a staticat. The people that used it
says
they use to have several lightening strikes a year and now do not get any
lightening strikes. Does anyone know about this item? It is expensive but
would pay for itself in one blown radio.
Manufacturer can be found at www.cortanacorporation.com. anyone have
opinions?
thanks Terry
