It seems to me that the rebroadcast signal will need to be really low to avoid 
interference with the original signal, at that level multipath could be a big 
problem. From my experience fiber is the method of choice commercially for both 
lightning protection and long cable runs. But those systems are really 
expensive unless you are protecting some serious equipment.
