- Folks, I'm after some advice on lightning protection. I have just put up a center fed half wave dipole for 160m between the roofs of two 20 storey condominium blocks. I live on the 10th floor of one

- Water pipes are next to useless for lightning protection Peter, although they do make excellent safety grounds. It takes a large mat with multiple grounds to establish a really good lightning ground

- Tom W8JI Said: The cause of lightning discharge is the large voltage gradient between earth and a cluster of charged moisture in the air. The only way to remove the charge is to have an actual path b

- I replied to KN4LF off the reflector, and he requoted me here. So I guess I'll respond here on the reflector. That's right. The little whiskers do absolutely nothing to discharge the cloud. A spiked

- About 20 years ago I decided to do something about lightning protection. My tower is 80 feet of Rohn 45G, with a 5el Telrex monoband 20 meter yagi at 82 feet. Hygain 153BAS at 90 feet and Hygain 103B

- A low impedance tower ground is important. Google TOWER FOOTING RESISTANCE for an IEEE ppt. on this. I would aim for a couple of ohms. That means several long rods. __________________________________

- That doesnt work for us that have solid rock as the tower base. My 180' has solid granite at 8-14" below grade and the other 3 towers arent much better, I think the deepest spot is 2' of sandy gravel
