[TowerTalk] 80m vertical

[Mirko S57AD]

As for lightning protection,  you can use static bleed chokes from 
radiator (vertical) to ground. That would provide DC path to ground your 
antenna.
Such a chokes areavailable at Array Solutions, or you wound them by 
yourself.

73 & GL with your antenna project!
