A couple of years ago I had a lightening strike directly to
my tower. I didn't know that there was a cloud in the
sky until that happened. It not only ruined ever piece
of ham equipment I had, but also got into the electrical
system in the house and ruined several appliances.
I was in the shack at the time, but was not using any
of the equipment that was burned to a crisp, or I
wouldn't be around to write this!!
I was lucky that I had good insurance. It paid for all
the crispy critters.
So everyone should be aware of what the weather is
doing outside before sitting down to operate your rig.
It could mean whether you stay alive or not !!
