Gents, I have been hamming for 50 years this year. I have grounded towers, ham shacks, computer rooms. I was taught by a roustabout years ago that nothing works. Drill rigs are grounded every which way and when lightning strikes close or far things fry.
The only way to protect any gear is to unplug it from mains, network and antennas. Even then I worry about the teeny tiny surface mount stuff in our K3's. It's that time of year again. Be careful and be cautious and unplug it all! With our new technology of networking our homes and offices and workshops lightning has a new way to dance around our toys and go from building to building through the routers, bit like Santa Claus this lightning. 73, Bill N2WL unplug it all all the time! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
