We almost had some lightning a couple years ago. I disconnect the 43'
vertical from the tuner if there's a chance. I ground everything else.
AC Mains are below ground (dirt).



Like the gentleman said, there's nothing like using a 500 dollar radio
as a fuse to protect 50 cents worth of wire...


What a complete idiot, if that isn't just bizarre and ignorant, someone
explain a sensible point he is attempting to make.

You just don't leave radios antennas hooked up to high voltage/current
sources ... wire and fuse is something a moron would come up with.
