Topband: Polyphaser IS-50UX-CO vs ICE Model 303?

[John K9UWA]

Like Price I was seriously hit in 1989 lost all radios computers TV sets other
appliances lots of coax and switches. Never again. Three towers the tallest 
is 185 feet. So I am the local lightening rod at well over 100 feet above all 
local trees. I have 100 ground rods connected by 1200 feet of 3/8" ID 
Copper Tubing. The Inductance per foot of this copper tubing is lower than 2 
inch wide copper strap. Copper tubing is silver soldered to all ground rods. 
All Coax and other lines entering the house have Polyphaser Devices on 
them including phone power etc. Tall Tower has been hit many times since 
installing the system. Zero Damge. Finally the whole house shunt protector 
gave up the ghost a few years ago and had to purchase a new one.
