You need to protect all incoming wires from your antennas, relay boxes, rotors and any control boxes that are on the tower.

It doesn't take much to kill the many low voltage devices we all have in our hamshacks and homes today. John k9uwa Polyphaser turn Blitz into Bliss. And no I am not connected with the company. Just a very happy user of their devices. > Elecraft Reflector: > > Some weird things going on at my station.
