I have the DX Engineering 8 circle receiving array sized for 80/160m .
It has been a fantastic performer but I have suffered damage to the
active antenna amplifiers on two separate occasions due to nearby
lightning strikes.
I am looking at a way to protect these amplifiers. I was wondering if I
can add a pair or dual series pair (4 diodes in total) of back to back
diodes - say 1N3600, across the input to ground terminals on each
amplifier. Will this affect the performance of the array in any way ?
