Hi Think BIG mike....tell them that they will all be in the 'cone of
protection' if you could put up a 50m mast (most UK citizens dont know how
big a metre is anyway). There hasn't been a strike within half a mile of
here in 10 years....mind you the Elephant Deterant Powder is working well
too!!
Cheers de Alan G3NYK

Subject: LF: More on lightning
Does this mean that my earthed mast (earthed to stakes, not mains) acted as
a lightning conductor and protected my TV antenna several metres below it?
The conclusion of this is obvious. I must persuade my neighbours that they
would be better protected from lightning if they all had 15m masts in their
gardens, and had them all joined up with wires to my mast to make a large
Faraday screen. Well, I can dream!
