It'll take a hit just like anything else, it has wire inside it..
Best protection is disconnect and ground it...
unlug radios

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?
