Ever see an
AM broadcast station's 300+ foot antenna take a direct hit during a lightning storm? And did you notice that the station remained on the air? That's because commercial broadcast stations have well-engineered grounding systems with safeguards to ensure that the whole station is and remains at the same potential. No potential difference, no current flow. For transients, lightning arrestors and similar devices do a fine job IF sized and installed correctly. Most ham/
cb grounding and lightning protection systems aren't adequate at all.
I've always taken care to ensure that mine is.
