Agreed... I have four 8-foot rods circled just outside my shack
window (garden level window - earth is waist high outside when
I am inside) and they are about 4-5 feet apart, interconnected
with very heavy copper strap.
Would that qualify ?
I feel that is a better plan than having the coax lying free on
the desk, about a foot away from my radio equipment. Man...
you just had to see that scorch mark on the desk to know it
is not a good idea leaving them free to arc to stuff in the room.

Happy Trails.

Let me caution about grounding. Unless your ground is a very good one,
connecting your disconnected coaxes to ground may be actually connecting
them to the lightning source directly. You must have an excellent
ground if you are going to connect to it for protection.
