Wet ropes, as described above, make no difference. Inductively coupled
energy from nearby lightning strikes will get directly into your
transmission line, regardless of your clean eggs. That's why you use Arc
Plugs or something similar.

From what I saw--- there is NO protection against a Direct Lightning
strike . Just ask any utility/cable guy !- Hide quoted text -

I think the only way to *possibly* prevent a lightning jump to your
equipment and house is to provide a total disconnect and shunt to
exterior ground. Otherwise, a lightning stroke can leap a mighty
distance.

I said "inductively coupled energy"; not direct strikes. The egg won't
stop those either.
