Default Lightning Info?

hi

I wondered what would happen if lightning hit my station.
Realize that it's impossible to say exactly but in general i wonder
what the 'step' of failure would be ...


Maybe you should play it safe and use the "Lee Trevino one-iron" lightning
protection club.
I believe it was Lee Trevino who started it - during a thuinderstorm, when
lightning was hitting all around, the golfer pulled a one-iron out of his
bag and held it up high saying that 'even God couldn't hit a one-iron'.
So wrap your coax around a one-iron and hope you've been a good boy.
