Hi dear hams,

I have an FT-920, grounded to a ground system below 4 ohms. Intend to use it 
with an elevated HF-9V Butternut vertical, with counterpoise kit. The whole 
antenna assembly will so be isolated from ground. What kind of solutions can I 
use to protect my equipment from static buildup and lightnings?

And of course I don't want to alter the 50 ohm feedline impedance.

Thanks for any advices.
