[TowerTalk] Protecting Control Lines

[Mickey Baker]

Are the devices sold for "lightning protection" of rotator and control lines
all simply gap+MOV protectors? Perhaps GDT?

Is one better than another? I respect your opinion, but do you have a
technical, non-anecdotal reason to believe which is better?

They seem damn expensive for what they are, so I'm considering building one.

Has anyone built a protection block?

I found these resettable fuses/MOVs while shopping to build one:

Anyone used these?

(I don't have any relationship with any component manufacturer - this isn't
a plug.)
