[TowerTalk] Lightning, surge protection

[Phil - KB9CRY]

The following two companies make the best units.  Check out the 
technical literature on their websites for the complete skinny on what 
to do.  I never disconnect and never have had a problem; even with 
nearby hits that blew the top off of the neighbor's trees and tripped 
the 30 amp fuse to the electrical service in the barn (antennas were 
closer).  Phil  KB9CRY
