[TowerTalk] Surge Suppressor Question

[Joe]

That's the case - we're in a very heavy lightning-prone area, and the 
phone lines are hit often.  Our power lines are underground however.  
All the damage I've ever experienced comes from phone lines, not power 
or the tower being hit.  The ICE protectors have done a god job.
