Hello Laurence,
So far I have made 220 mini-whips and not a single
unit has failed due to static AFAIK.
As the pick-up element is small, the induced
voltage will be much lower than on a conventional whip antenna. The imput
impedance is not really high, so some protection has been build in and the J310
is a sturdy device.
I have had one report from a failed home
made mini-whip. On the photo a roasted resistor could be seen. So, it
should have been a slight direct hit. This particular mini-whip was mounted 18
metre high.
You can find some photo's here:
