I wonder if an RF choke across the antenna and ground terminals might give some protection? Jay -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JACrux Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 12:27 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Lightning

Re: [Elecraft] Lightning strikes

A choke will bleed off the static charges, but can be easily blown by too much static voltage opening the winding. Instead put a 100,000 ohm 2 watt resistor across the feed line. It will allow the full power RF to pass, but take the static to ground, if the line feeder is coax. If not coax,
