quite a bit, and probably happen at 4AM just to be more annoying.
Yes... we had a strike hit a remote mountain POP via the T1. From the

Being a ham I use their gear myself expensive but cheaper than a new rig.
Especially since the rig is connected to a structure

We have since purchased some polyphaser surge protectors.
I'll second the polyphaser as a good product. We put it in a POP in the
base of a 460 foot tower and the equipment and it survived unscathed for at
least 5 direct tower lightning hits that we know of

It must still be installed according to proper engineering principles
