[TowerTalk] G-2800DXA lightning damage

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

 From my own viewpoint, I like the disconnect everything (if possible), 
but I'd add, I'd ground all disconnected leads.

I say that, but very seldom disconnect anything unless I have plenty of 
warning.  It's too difficult to get behind the desks to disconnect 
everything in sufficient time.  The storm would be here before I could 
finish the first desk, let alone start on the second.

I do have lightening protection on most leads with coax shields grounded 
(earthed) at the top and bottom of the tower and a network of 32, or 33 
8' ground rods CadWelded to over 600 feet of bare #2. I put it in before 
the price of copper went up.
