Phil... why should we read Polyphaser's expert opinions when we can have such a 
stimulating exchange of opinions here on TowerTalk?  ;-)  73, Jerry

  I like it better when they talk about lightening!!!

  Come on everyone; read all about how lightning works on the Polyphaser 
  website.  You'll read that there are actually two bolts that form.  The 
  sky bolt which everyone thinks about and the ground leader that actually 
  comes up from the ground and meets the sky bolt about a 1/3 the way up.  
  A grounded structure is constantly bleeding away the static charge which 
  can build up enough to enable the ground leader to form.  Of course, 
  even with the best grounding, Mother Nature can take over and do her 
  thang whenever and wherever she wants.  A "properly" grounded system can 
  handle that and shunt that super energy into the ground before it gets 
  into the shack.  But more often, a well grounded system will also shunt 
  any induced energy also to ground.  Remember, that one doesn't need a 
  direct strike to have lightning induced problems.  Phil  KB9CRY
