[TowerTalk] Porqupines

[David Robbins K1TTT]

They are supposed to prevent lightning hits.  Just think about this though,
if porcupines dissipated enough charge to prevent lightning why would
lightning EVER hit a pine tree that has many more sharp points on it, let
alone anywhere near a huge pine forest!
