[John K9UWA]

Sorry to hear about your near hit and the damage Cary

Start here. So it doesn't happen again.

You need to protect all incoming wires from your antennas, relay boxes, 
rotors and any control boxes that are on the tower. You also need to protect 
your AC lines coming to at least the Ham Shack and better yet the Whole 
House protection is much better. It doesn't take much to kill the many low 
voltage devices we all have in our hamshacks and homes today.

Polyphaser turn Blitz into Bliss. 
And no I am not connected with the company. Just a very happy user of 
their devices.
