Ground Or Not To Ground Receiving Antenna In Storm ?

. . . See the works of Sir Ronald Arthur Fisher, the greatest statistician of all time. Beautifully explained in plain English. He dabbled mainly in Genetics, Agriculture, the Weather, and the mathematics thereof. But I'm not aware of anything specifically he had to say about the statistics of lightning strikes. You will have to work things out for yourself. In all probability nothing seriously will happen to YOU. So don't worry about it. . . . As for me, I'm 80 years of age, and I'm still alive. I've never won the national lottery. But perhaps that can be explained by the fact that I've never entered it. I hope the foregoing has helped to set your mind at rest. I'd be willing to wager that there are places in Florida which have more lightning strikes in a single summer than have occurred at your QTH (or mine) in the past 80 years. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
