No lightning threat from supplying AC power??? How about just parking a fuelcell or generator at the tower. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://www.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster node

Yeah, and imagine how much fun it'll be to file the insurance claim when all that expensive stuff gets fried by a lightning hit. 73, Pete N4ZR At 02:59 PM 1/21/2005, Jim Lux wrote: At 06:23 AM 1/21/2

Icom made some radios that used a fiber link back in the 1980s. The IC-900 and IC-901 I believe the only HF modules were for 10 meters. It was a cool concept, way ahead of it's time. 73, Joe going We

I confess that, not being technically trained, I try to compensate for my engineering deficiencies by keeping things simple. Rather than bet on my ability to achieve good lightning grounding in my se
