I do not worry about a static discharge if the antenna is grounded.
Hell, if lightning its your house all you are going to worry about is
your radio? I am
thinking this is a good time to have the insurance paid up...

radio? I was under the impression that it would also help prevent
lightning strikes. Thanks)
All bets are off with a lightning strike. No device can offer 100%
protection against a direct strike.
Unplugging the coax from the radio when not
in use comes pretty darn close.
No "device" can offer 100% protection against a direct lightning strike.
