Hi all!
During most storms I find myself disconnecting my antenna from my radio
and staying off the air. I figure that a direct strike from lightning
isn't something I can do much to mitigate on a household budget other
than to not be the tastiest target for a bolt nearby.
However I am concerned with strikes that are close enough to induce
current strong enough to damage the sensitive electronics in my
transceivers. This seems especially important for a place like Houston
where our weather can be very extreme, and where having radio comms
working could be helpful.
What do you do to make your home stations more resilient to nearby
strikes? How do these differ for UHF/VHF rigs verses HF?
Best,
