Gentlemen,

Lightning season is here.

If you want to do it right, go to this link.  I make my living as a two-way 
land mobile dealer and tower operator.  We use polyphaser products 
exclusively, and have had virtually no lightning damage, other than to 
antennas, in 20 years.  We own 9 towers, from 180' to 480', with 
approximately 50 antennas and 100 base station/repeaters.

P.S.  Guys with tuners/twinlead.  Run properly protected coax outside to a 
remote balun.  Makes it easy to protect your zepps and your equipment.  You 
won''t notice the loss in the short run of coax.  Also keeps RF out of the 
shack.

No connection to Polyphaser other than very satisfied customer.
