>  I got a 60 feet run from the antenna down, a grounded  utility box, then 
a 150 foot run of LMR400, then another grounded utility box,  and another 
10 feet to the rig.  In which off the 2 utility boxes should I  install the 
I.C.E. lightning arrestor?
 
    You're surrounded by trees. The Pacific NW gets  very little lightning. 
If it was me, I wouldn't bother.
 
    Lightning arrestors should go at the building  entry. Their job is to 
keep transients out of the house.
