In this area of Florida we don't mount any vertical antennas at the top
of a mast on a tower just for that reason. All my verticals are mounted
below the top of the tower to keep them away from lightning.

Subject: [TowerTalk] XM-240 coil after lightning
Thought you might like to see an image of one of the CC XM-240 loading
coils
after it got smacked by lightning. The R8 mounted above it got it even
worse since most of it was just plain gone.
