But how will all the SteppIR control equipment react to a large surge
from a nearby strike? I would worry that the control box would puke
if it received enough static from a big strike either on the tower, or
close enough to induce big currents or voltages or whatever they
induce in the control wire on down to the control box. Wouldn't a
plain Jane Yagi be more durable in that regard?
