[TowerTalk] Lightning GROUND switch wanted

I have been disconnecting all coax, rotator lines etc each time I finish operating and it's a real PITA.

Can anyone tell me about coax switches and 8 line devices that could switch all these lines
to ground using a SINGLE OFF SWITCH.

Pardon me for shouting but I'm SAT  (sick and tired)  of all the individual disconnects.

My disconnects are in the lines _after_ a Polyphaser single ground point panel with the proper devices
and a 12" copper strap out the second floor to ground (approx 30 feet) so I would _hope_ the strike is dissipated
at the point of the disconnects.  However, I would feel much better knowing that all of those lines
were switched to ground.

I'm thinking of remotely operated coax switches and 8 pole relays.  Any suggestions?

Thanks, Larry N2LA
