I self-installed one when I lived in Tucson, AZ (an area with 
significant seasonal lightning).  A co-worker told me that his had taken 
a nearly direct hit and protected everything in his house (the 
protective device itself did not survive), which I felt was a pretty 
good endorsement. I did not notice any noise or other problems operating 
with a low (CC&R-stealth-type) multiband dipole.
