On the subject of lightning protection, is this sort of thing:
http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=21474 useful or advisable?
Do I put one just at the base of the tower (and connect it to the
tower ground system) or do I also have one next to the shack.
I was looking into female-female SO239 type devices for use as the
shack side ground for my coax (I'd have a connector box and then make
sure the paired "SO239"s would then be grounded), but I wondered about
this.
The price isn't great, but what worries me more is the 0.4 dB
insertion loss. Or, is that at GHz frequencies only?
