How often did you have lightning damage before you added the porcupine?

Not true in my case.  Before I installed the porcupine my
mast bleed off the charge.  A number of years ago I added
the porcupine and my mast/porcupine combo still bleeds off
the charge.  In other words, my addition of the porcupine
did not have a negative effect.  In almost 30 years I have
not had any lightning damage.  One of my mottos is
'experience trumps theory EVERY time' and this is another
example.
