Ground Or Not To Ground Receiving Antenna In Storm ?
I've read that this click is due to the ear's reaction to the strong
electromagnetic pulse. If that's what you heard, it comes from the ear itself, not from outside................................ According to old Gary Coffman posts, he says it's picked up by the auditory nerve. Also, deaf people can hear that click. I've had two strikes to my mast with me sitting 15 ft away from the base of the mast. I could hear that click, but I also could hear the arc sound of the strike going to ground outside. Sounded like a light bulb being thrown to the ground outside my window. Not that loud really. I'm fairly convinced the quality of the ground connection effects the loudness of the strike. The strikes that hit my well grounded mast are fairly quiet, not counting the overhead sonic boom. The strikes to the trees in the yard are super loud in comparison. A loud crack, instead of the quieter arc sound. MK |
