Polyphaser reply about balanced line protection

More on lightning:
Put a lightning suppressor inside the shack, and near your radios, too, 
as suggested is dumb (pardon me).  Do you want lightning inside your 
home?  Inside your wire trace very near the rig?
UNPLUG DISCONNECT etc. There is no such thing as a 
direct-hit-lightning-"suppresor" (the name tells you something, it does 
not say "lightning protector") at ham radio prices.  73, K4VUD Charlie
