I know a couple of RF engineers who swear by these and will not setup a
tower without them. We are looking at putting small ones on each end of
every row on a large array next year.

NASA had a similar problem on the space station. They used (I think -
research this) some kind of static discharge unit on the exterior of
the station.

Hey all,
I am trying to figure out how to mitigate problems found with a 12v
500w simple DC system without a ground. This system is at 14,500' on
Denali (Mt McKinly). We experienced a somewhat "festive" fireworks
display on the 4th of July as static current from a storm seemed to
travel through one of the antennae, and energized some radio
equipment. There is no grounded conductor, as there is no grounding
electrode, as there is no ground to put it in. The camp is situated
on about 500' of glacial ice. The conductivity of the ice is
questionable, and to make the puzzle a bit more fun the camp is raised
and taken down at the beginning and end of every climbing season
(Apr-July), though the site is the same. The loads are primarily for
communications for search and rescue purposes, and reliability, and
simplicity are paramount. I have been exploring the avenue of a surge
arrestorsThanks, and was wondering if any of you could make a
recommendation on a product that can either be reset or cheap enough
to have a few replacements on hand. Everything is flown in or carried
to the site, and repair/replacement needs to be simple enough so
non-technical minded personnel can perform and re-set the system.
Thanks,
Jay Pozner
