It was on top of a water tower for about 15 yrs. We lost a couple of the ground radials and had to replace them otherwise did fine. About every other year or so we had to replace the fiberglass Diamond 2 meter repeater antenna that was a couple feet away due to lightning strikes but never had any damage to the G7.
