[TowerTalk] Sweet spot locations

I missed the extra "n" in lightning vs lighting. 
Yes, you are right. Now I see how it's done. 
For some reason, I thought that the transformer
was a sensor to shut down the tx when the bolt 
hit but I can see that is impractical. Nothing 
can react that quickly.
---------------------------------------
 
Isn't it a lighting transformer, to power the lights on the tower?   The gap
between the primary and secondary windings (both circular) is  substantially
greater than the gap between the two metal balls, so that  lightning will
jump the latter gap.
