Lightning

Bill Levy
Gents,

I have been hamming for 50 years this year.
I have grounded towers, ham shacks, computer rooms.
I was taught by a roustabout years ago that nothing works.
Drill rigs are grounded every which way and when lightning strikes close or
far
things fry.

The only way to protect any gear is to unplug it from mains, network and
antennas.

Even then I worry about the teeny tiny surface mount stuff in our K3's.

It's that time of year again. Be careful and be cautious and unplug it all!

With our new technology of networking our homes and offices and workshops
lightning has a new way to dance around our toys and go from building to
building through the routers, bit like Santa Claus this lightning.

73, Bill N2WL

unplug it all all the time!
