[amsat-bb] Lightning protection

[James Hall <nwtncc@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

I am designing and installing a fixed satellite antenna array on a short 
Rohn 25G tower.  After some of the most impressive lightning displays 
this past weekend - which cost 4 lives - I've been giving more serious 
thoughts to lightning protection.  On the HF array, I use Polyphaser 
gear and a substantial ground screen and single point ground.  What are 
the recommendations for this kind of setup taking into account 3 coax 
runs, 2 rotator cable runs and DC injection at the shack to power a 
downconverter ?
