Interesting article.
I particularly loved his piece on SWR. AMEN!
I am not knowledgeable enough on grounding to comment on his recommendation;
I'll leave that for others.
However there was one bit that does annoy me.
It is very dangerous to take one's own experience (even if it is over 39
years) and apply that in general to the rest of the world. "I've been
driving a car for 39 years. I am a cautious driver. Never had an accident.
Therefore I see no need for a seatbelt, airbag or even insurance."
My method in protecting from a lightning strike is an outdoor connection. I
simply unscrew the coax and throw it out into the yard (after placing a
plastic protective cover over the PL).
I also unplug ALL equipment from the wall - but I learned something from
this document.
I have not been disconnecting my ground which goes to a stake just outside
the house.
Will do that in the future.
