Kieth,

It would be prudent to put in a very good lightning protection system at 
the remote station.  If done properly, operating during a lightning 
storm is possible, but that degree of protection takes a lot of  effort 
and expense.  Few ham installations have that kind of protection, but 
broadcast stations do - they have to keep working despite lightning 
strikes.  Done correctly, everything is raised to the same potential and 
no damage occurs.
