Hi Guys,
Just a thought on the previous post of whether to ground or float the
coax of a wire antenna when not in use.
If you ground, you may be attracting a lighting strike by offering an
easy path for discharge.
If you float, the discharge may find a more convenient direct path to
ground elsewhere.
