please ask if anyone around knows cpr.... otherwise you might as well
dig that hole 6' deep and be done with it.

Do you have data contrary to that? Is there anybody who experienced more 
lightning strikes after putting up bigger antenna installations? Just because 
"professionals" did not exprience it (didn't have big antennas) it can't be so?
Why would you say that? Did you try to do it, or heard of unsuccessful event 
like that?
Or you just "know" better?

Like listening to media barrage of "no fat, no cholesterol" and then crying 
that there is a fat epidemic, killing people, while dumping on Dr. Atkins for 
showing the way to stay healthy and away for money sucking "doctors"? Been 
there, done it, live to tell about it. Don't tell me about taking blood pressure 
and cholesterol lowering drugs. 
Once they though that Earth was flat!
