[Elecraft] Lightning season is on the way in New Mexico.

[Phil Townsend]

Lightning question:

I have driven an 8 foot copper clad rod just out side my operating station. Its about 6 feet from the rod to my desk.
I have attached a solid copper wire (1/4" thick) to the ground post (with a ground rod clamp) The wire goes thru the wall and is bonded to a copper pipe that is 1-1/8" wide  that is just under the desk.

So on to my question:
What is the BEST way to connect my equipment (k3, SB-200 and a remote coax switch) to the copper pipe?

Coax braid  from RG8 or solid copper wire? and why....


Thank You guys...
