I have always thought the best way to avoid a lightning strike is to bleed off any build up of energy that may be on the antenna.
Many have seen this video of the two guys climbing a 1768 foot TV antenna tower. It clearly shows devices to dissipate energy. There is one right at the very top when they get there, but not fully shown as the others are. There is a short animation in the beginning. This is not for weak hearts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k4Xk1mEwmI As you watch this, think about climbing back down. Dick, n0ce On 4/20/2017 2:13 PM, Terry Schieler wrote: POOF!
