[TowerTalk] Attic or outside cable run - safety issues regarding lightning?

[John Harper]

>From a safety standpoint (lighning), is there any reason not to run coax
through an attic for the length of a house? My new tower is located at the
opposite end of the house from the shack and I'd prefer to go the more
direct route through the attic. That would save me 25 feet or cable and
would look neater. But if there are issues of safety, they'll take
priority.

Tnx/73,
