You definitely need surge protection on your home antennas, not
necessarily for precipitation static, but for lightning strikes. It is
probably an overkill for mobile antennas. I base that conclusion from
having spent many years operating in central Florida, which included
several close lightning strikes, and I have never suffered any damage to
my mobile gear. Although, I suspect with a direct hit everything would
be toast.
