[CQ-Contest] Lightning Protection

[Ron Feutz]

Fellow Contesters,

 

Maybe this should go on TowerTalk, but since contesters have the best
stations, I thought I would ask here:

 

I have upgraded my lightning protection and am pretty sure I have all the
bases covered:  Multiple ground radials with multiple ground rods properly
spaced on the towers, everything Cad-welded, heavy ground leads lead back to
SPG panel with multiple ground rods along its run, copper SPG plate strapped
to multiple ground rods near the house, strap from all eqpt. to SPG, whole
house surge arrestor, all connections to outside world bonded to SPG, etc.

 

The one thing I haven't been able to find is info or grounding equipment for
the wireless link from my wireless router to my shack computer.  In case
lightning does sneak in to the wireless router somehow, how do I protect
from having the lightning jump the wireless link to the computer.  It is a
major concern as my chair is between the router and the computer, and I am
worried that if lightning does follow the wireless path to the computer, I
would be right in the way.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

73,
