[TenTec] Information about chokes needed

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

I would only comment that any lightning protection must be done outside of 
the structure.  You do not want to provide a path for lightning to enter the 
house and then be dissipated.  This includes static build up from wind or 
snow blowing thus inducing static electricity on the antenna.
