[TowerTalk] Rotator Lightning Protection

[Steve Maki]

The disconnect method is fine if you're always at home and you're not 
serious about a contest that might be running or trying to to snag #310 
when a storm approaches...but otherwise, it's nice to have a backup plan.

If I was going to rely on a disconnect system, it would probably be a 
one button solution of some sort, cuz if it's not easy, you won't do it 
on a regular basis.
