[Elecraft] K2 Won't power on

[JeremyJones]

With Q7/Q8 removed, the resistance from the Collector solder pad to ground on
both is 70 ohms.

Doing a "Tune" with Q7/Q8 removed results in 1.0V on the Base pads and a Low
P on the display.  I do have the KAT2 installed, just in case this makes a
difference.  This was done into a dummy load.

The antenna that I normally run is an 80m Carolina Windom strung up between
a tree in my front yard to a tree in my backyard.  I have no additional
grounding to it, just the baluns that are part of the normal antenna design. 
I am very cautious of lightning in the summer, and leave the antennas
disconnected when not using the radio, however given that its winter here
and sub zero temperatures, I didn't worry about it.  I had never heard of
static caused by the wind.  What is a good way to protect against this?

Thanks,
Jeremy
