I have a WISP customer that has gear on top of a mid west located grain
elevator. They told me that they lost a LOT of gear up there due to
lightning. After they had a company come in and put up a series of lightning rods and grounded the heck out of them the damage stopped happening. Something about it bleeding off the energy before a strike actually happens. I've not tried that anywhere here but they swore it worked. Makes sense to me in a way. Has anyone talked to the folks at Polyphaser? They have some really great white papers etc. on the subject. laters, marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Renwick" <ve5ra@sasktel.net> To: <garyschafer@comcast.net>; <towertalk@contesting.com> Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 5:30 PM Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Lightning So far nobody, NOBODY, has presented sound empirical data that proves the porcupine does or does not reduce the incidence of lightning strikes. Without that data, you are nothing more than an opinion.
