        EXCELLENT POINT CARL.

        I DO... SORTA...   I have FOUR - 8-foot ground stakes
        located just outside the shack window,  all within 10 feet
        of the operating position, and the antennas and masts are
        all grounded to those stakes, and, those are, in turn, bonded
        to the main electrical service ground.  I employed high
        quality lightning arrestors at the bulk head connectors, outside,
        which are tied to the ground stakes.  You cannot see them from
        the inside photos, and were put on after I took outdoor photos.

        As always, you comment is spot on.
