I have lived here all my life, over 80 years, have been a ham over 50 years. I have had one lightning strike whenI had a 25' tower, it hit my printer which was fixable. My current antenna is a wire antenna attached to the house,I only connect the antenna when I want to get on the air. PumpWA5CYI

How many BVARC folks have had a lightning strike on their radio (or TV) antenna (elevation 12 foot or less) on their roof? Is this a Stir-Crazy Net subject?
