[MLB-WIRELESS] Lightning protection?

[lkhoo at csc.com.au]

Tv masts? as in tranmission end? Or just normal antenna's?

I've been on my roof lately (cleaning/fixing leaks) and havn't noticed any
*extra* cables coming from my normal tv antenna.

I think this might do the trick for the wireless mast

But at $500US+ its a bit more that i'd probably want to pay!

Lightning hit = cactus equipment.

Just talking to a colleague, in Europe (Germany at least) TV masts _have_
to be earth to ground with 20mm cable.  Apparently this will take the hit
and leave your TV or whatever equipment unaffected.
