[TowerTalk] PORKYPINE Lightning Protection

[Bill Winkis]

  I have them on two towers at 105 -145 feet ... I have a people 
knock on my door telling me the tower was on fire...???? At times 
with impending thunderstorms, heavy air with ozone, they will 
sparkle, blue/white with a "Rice Krispies" sound!!
