As the power line worker strapped to the million volt wires he is
working on shows, what is important is that all the grounds in the
house stay at the same potential... not that they stay at some
perfect earth ground potential.
It really doesn't matter if a house ground jumps up many
thousands
Hi
Yes indeed, very true.
Things like telephone lines and cable lines need to jump at the same time
as the house ground. The fact that they don't is what makes cordless phone
base stations, modems (remember them?) and cable boxes the main victims in
lightning hits.

I live in NW Florida and I believe I have found a good solution to the

Since lightning never strikes the same place twice (or so goes conventional
wisdom), I built my 60' antenna tower a few feet from the exact spot where a

Hi Bob,
When I had my lightning protection survey done on my house,
there was a requirement that all of the lightning grounds
be tied to the power, telephone, cable, and water grounds
at a single point. Before I did this, I lost modems, network
cards, fax machines, etc.. afterward, no problems.
Mine arrived in the same manner. It works but I can't tell any real
difference between it and my 26 dB antenna, switching between them when
mounted on the corner of the roof of my workshop.

The process of bonding everything together is a lot easier if the house is set
up with all the stuff coming in at one point. If phone, water, power, and
cable all come in on their own corner - not quite so easy.

You just need a spectrum analyzer. The signal source would be the birds.
I forget who claimed the GPS signals are beneath the thermal noise. I'm
quite sure I could see them on my spectrum analyzer and will check this
weekend.
These work fine if all you need is L-band:
Exactly: I have used the network analyzer to test GPS antennae but a fixed
mechanical mounting is needed to ensure the measurement consistency.

I believe I read in an earlier post that someone was using one of these with a
Tbolt, which is 5 volts to the antenna. Hope I'm not mistaken! I didn't hear
any rattles when I shook the unit so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. They do
appear to be pretty rugged so I'm hoping for the best.
Most of those no antenna rules can't be enforced. They can control the color of
the antenna. Yes, really. For example, CONUS, you can have any number of 1
meter dishes. You might have to paint the dish.

Too bad there wasn't an amateur radio allocation at 902 MHz in the early
1970's - the troposcatter stations I serviced would have been awesome -
2x 10Kw into paired 60' dishes, but no az or el control!

For the dishes and HD antennas, I just found the FCC rules and gave them to the
person that wanted to put up the antennas. Basically you cite chapter and verse

Is everyone buying these because they have 40dB gain or because they are the
