Has anyone been able to withstand a direct lightning strike? We had a tower get hit last night, and some of our equipment lost Ethernet ports (RB/433AH), and we lost 3 canopy APs, but that is all (considering what is all up there only 2/3rds was blown). Our Trango AP survived and a RB/433AH survived. Even Nextel had their guys out there, but they just had to reset alarms it appears as nothing was "fried" on their end. I wish I had to just reset alarms.
So tell me, what do you do ? I'm tired of dumping a few grand during big lightning storms. I do the basics, Ethernet surge suppression up top and on the bottom, Polyphasers, ground out to the ground bars, ground out the cat5 cable, and no omni's.
