- The pros often pressurize their lines, I believe, to keep water out. Have amateurs done this? What would be involved? PL-259's aren't going to help. 73 Martin AA6E ___________________________________

- Interesting thread. There has not been too much systematic thinking about lightning / surge protection for ham radio, IMO. Lots of good ideas floating around, but too many anecdotal reports. If you g

- True, when considering *static* fields. However, when talking lightning or RF, an external magnetic field induces currents in the Faraday shield that (ideally) cancel all magnetic and electric field

- Another way to think of it is to consider that we are working with the natural oscillation modes of a length of wire. The "boundary condition" is that current must be zero at the ends - it's an open
