I will echo the comment about the SWL case being similar to the ham station. It is amazing how much current even modest antennas and feeders can conduct momentarily. If that feeder is robustly ground

NO! Two huge misconceptions here. First, BY LAW, the chassis of anything connected to the AC line MUST be bonded to the green wire. This has been LAW for MANY years, it is not new. The sole exception

No, but it makes you look stupid, because you are sticking a lightning attractor high up in the air, but failing to provide a discharge path for it. When you do that, lightning will build up a charge

Thanks, Stuart. A couple of well-intentioned local hams made fun of me when I installed just such a thing. I went ahead with the plan anyway. -- Happy Trails. == Richards / K8JHR == _________________

Hi Joe, Yes, the AC power line is a common entry point. I agree that a good whole house protector at the main feed is a good thing. I've bought one, but haven't installed it yet. It is critical that

It will likely be even more impractical to rebuild your house after a lightning strike. Mother Nature doesn't care how difficult it is, she will work her will. Proper bonding is critical. 73, Jim K9Y

Richards, And now you can have peace of mind, while those local hams may one day have pieces of their antennas/ station if they don't ground when not in use. 73, Stuart K5KVH ________________________
