[TowerTalk] lightning arrester suggesstions

[john at kk9a.com]

I am wondering how the antenna exploded.  I have had numerous direct
lightning strikes on my 160ft Rohn 65 tower installed both in Illinois and
North Carolina and nothing on the tower ever exploded.

Been using Polyphasers for > 20 years and on day 1 of antenna(s)

exploded each time, with the Polyphaser clamping down instantly.
