Would a cb antenna made out of fiberglass be less likely to get hit
from lightening on a roof as compared to aluminum?

I am looking up info on grounding my ham radio for the base station. I
am wanting to use a cb radio up there too but it would get very
expensive buying a coaxial gas tube ground for my two antenna ham radio
and my cb.

How many of you actually use these for the coax?

Disconnecting all power supplies, radios and antennas (then grounding them)
has it's pro's, up to a point, and only you can decide this based on your
individual circumstances.
