[Elecraft] ESD and Storms

[Dave G.]

Just to add to the knowledge base...
One misconception is that, if  was no storm, there was 
no lightning...

At one point in my career I had the fortune to do some 
work at NASA, and came across a nice piece of 
research concerning Clear Air Lightning.

Lightning can and does occur on perfectly clear days. At 
MSFC (Huntsville,AL) there have been recorded in 
excess of 1000 CAL strikes in one day. !!

Caveat !!
