I hope you don't keep your radio connected to the long wire when storms
start to roll in. That would be almost a guarentee to a short life for
your radio!

All of a sudden, a huge flash (our sitting area overlooks the lake we live
on -- and has large picture windows) and an ENORMOUS "KABOOM!!!" happened.
No other thunder (or lightning) happened, before or after -- this was the
only strike. Now I really understand that this is the kind of event that
kills golfers.
