I'm new to scanning and am interested in using a Discone type antenna I
bought on Ebay. I'm going to be feeding my Yeasu VR-500 handheld scanner
with it. I live in Central Florida (Lightning Capital of the World, or so
it seems) and need info about isolating (grounding) the antenna. I am very
concerned about lightning entering my home via the antenna feed.

Can someone give me a URL for info about using (and isolating) antennas, or
a good book title that I can buy? TIA.
