My highest antenna is a folded monopole. So the whole thing is connected 
to ground and the ground radial system, with about 100 feet of coax 
between that ground system and the shack. I have another much lower 
antenna which is a dipole and is not grounded or protected from 
lightning at all. There are plenty of trees and power lines in the 
vicinity that are higher above ground than the highest point of my 
highest antenna. I'm taking chances. I think my chances are good. 
Nevertheless, thanks for reminding me that I really need to put the 
effort in and get my lightning protection done right, before my luck 
runs out.
