I've seen pictures of all sorts of gaps, two wires almost touching, interlocking rings, adjacent spheres, Jacobs ladder like rods with tapered spacing , etc. One amateur radio product uses automotive

I'm assuming this is for open wire feed line? That brings up the question of the rig. Is it SS, or tube. Is the tuner link coupled, or with a transformer? Is there a direct path from the antenna "thr
No, the protection is for a 160m 90' high "T" with 8x 120' elevated radials in a mostly treed area. That's a lot of exposure to induced or trees to wires strikes. Since the elevated radials can't be

Agreed, lightning is an RF event and the feedpoint is probably the best place to start. My thoughts on the direct path to the amp, were not toward a DC event, it's just a lot easier for the residual
My thoughts on the direct path to the amp, were not toward a DC event, it's just a lot easier for the residual voltage to traverse. I say residual voltage as reducing the potential to around 300 volt
