For those who have a long wire antennas I would be interested in how everybody has set up their antenna. The old diagrams I have found call out the use of a lighting arrestor. What if any kinds of lightning protection are you using? I have posted the articles I have found. I would like to build a longwire antenna but do not want my house struck by lightning.
