[TowerTalk] from towers to shack

The Array Solutions protectors use MOVs with a capacitor across them.

Here's another MOV solution;

simply (8 or 16) 65 volt MOVs in a NEMA box. I mounted the 16 terminal
version at the ground window and cable entrance of my shack. The ground
window is bonded to the tower ground system on the outside and is also
bonded to the supplemental and primary system electrical ground systems
in accordance with the National Electrical Code. For coaxial cables, I
use bulkhead connectors to penetrate the ground window (aluminum plate ,
Plexiglas / plastic , aluminum plate sandwich) with ICE co-axial
protectors;

Doesn't say those are MOVs.. with a 65V firing voltage, those could be gas
discharge tubes.
