I have some photos of the lightning protection scheme on mine at
www.w0btu.com/160_meters.html which uses a 3-electrode spark gap. Scroll
down to "The W0BTU 160 Meter Inverted-L Antenna". Maybe it'll give you some
ideas.

It's a long walk from the house to it; if it was closer, I would likely
have already added a couple of ground rods at the base. Currently, the only
ground is that steel fence post. Not good. :-)
