It does seem like you get it through the power side as often as not, but
why not add a surge suppressor onto your electric panel for a few
hundred bucks?
So I was thinking. And I don’t know if this is a pointless idea or not.
Lightning strikes happen because of potential differences. Besides the
instances where equipment is blown up (direct strike) usually what I see is
indirect strike where the Ethernet port of the radios just dries but there is
no physical damage visible.
Obviously the radio into the tower became a better path than the shielding of
the cable into the ground system.
Would there be any merit to running tower sites in generator and disconnecting
them from the grid during severe storms?
