Patrick,


You must be a lucky guy or be living in a no or low lightning zone. I can't 
count the number of CB radios my friends (I never owned a CB radio for some 
reason) had to repair/replace due to indirect lightning strikes and in a few 
cases direct hit on the CB antennas. I also have a few SWR bridges where the 
reflect diode burnt out from lightning induced power.

Bill, in so doing you would be just as wrong as Hans.  Re the CB 
comment.  To
my knowledge we never replaced a CB for lighting causes.
