Lighting protection for base station antennas????

[K7DCL]

How are you setup to protect against a lighting strike to your base station antenna(s)?

Good question. I've often wondered about the best/most effective way to protect from lightning. I've since moved my antenna from the roof to the attic, but it was a huge lightning rod up there for over a year. I would just disconnect my coax when the radio was not in use.

Interesting! I would have thought that a variety of options would have been provided.

I am not. But one way is with a Polyphaser.
