I wouldn't think anything but extremely good grounding
at the antenna will do much. Long ago, when I lived on the west central coast of Florida (lightning alley), I had a 6-meter repeater on a tall building. The transmit and receive antennas were at diagonal corners of the building (no duplexer). We got a direct hit on BOTH antennas. The damage was something to see. Antennas had no damage except some scorch marks, but the coax was another matter. There would be 2-3' of coax, then 2-3' of nothing but scorched roofing. This repeated across the entire 150' or so length of the coax! A whole bunch of RG-8 simply vaporized. Steve |
