I asked our municipal POC to source a list of protectors that pass the insurance companies muster,  here's a link to what was provided https:// www.polyphaser.com/Themes/polyphaser/Content/assets/pdf/INF-PP-UL497E- Flyer_V3.pdf

We noted this is UL497E and not the UL452 (radio & television receiving equipment) / UL 1449 (surge suppression) that was originally called out, and were told this is the only option, and specifically "told not to press the issue".

And, as noted, they won't work for your chosen antenna, for the reasons noted. You should probably pursue one or more of the options for antennas that are relatively well matched to coax on their operating frequencies.
