The minimum is to follow the electrical code. That might cost $40 in materials for a single story house. They allow bare aluminum grounding wire which really reduces the cost. After this minimum you have th think about the probability of a strike. If you live in Orlando Florida then it might be 100% and nearly zero in other places and then you ask what the radio equipment cost. I paid $18 for my Motorola Encore GPS receiver. The iron pipe mast if it also provides a good path to ground will take almost all the current. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
