Hello Ray,
I think that you would be well advised to read and absorb the contents of
this publication.....NASA did.
This is a very serious topic, can I refer the group once again to a book
published in 2008 called "The Art and Science of Lightning Protection" The
author, Professor Martin A. Uman PhD is a very experienced and respected
lightning specialist based in Florida. The book ISBN code is
978-0-521-87811-1.
Sincerely, John. G3JVC.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Lighting protection for roof mounted tower
I have an 8 ft roof tower that I am debating where and how to install. My
concern is lighting protection and the way I would like to run the coax.
This roof tower will hold a 3 el 6m yagi, small yagis for 2m and 440mhz, and
a 2m vertical on top. My radio room in almost in the center of the house.
The run for all my HF coax and cables from the station to the Single Point
Ground is about 30 ft long running under the raised floor. We do get late
summer monsoon rains and lightning.
