I would agree that it's good practice. However in this
situation, the only other equipment at the site is
cellphone stuff. And if they lose an antenna and the
amp goes, they'll just have to get it all fixed. I
don't know how long the repeater would continue to
transmit without an antenna anyway, but would the
circulator really survive that kind of failure? About
the only thing that would kill the antenna is a close
or direct lightning strike, and then there's not much
that wouldn't also get damaged in some way at the same
time.
