[RFI] Lightning Grounds with Insulators in SC?

[qrv at kd4e.com]

The link I embedded did have the photo Bruce took but it may
have been deleted from swap.qth.com

I'll get out of the middle & let you and Bruce process this.

He was concerned about potential RFI from what he was observing
- so I thought it should be seen on this list.

Thanks & 73, DavidC KD4E
