Folks, set up your shack with a patch panel or other positive disconnect
scheme to never leave a rig plugged into an antenna when a storm is expected
or within miles.  Don't get on the air in marginal weather. Safety first.
we had a local ham shocked by a glancing lightning bolt that divided between
his VHF antenna mast and a power pole!
