[Elecraft] Lightning Season, disconnect COMPUTER etc.

[Keith Trinity WE6R]

Hi all;
I am starting to see our yearly peak of Lightning damaged radios come in 
for repair, August through October.

It is MOST likely to come in through the COMM PORT connected to your 
COMPUTER (via DSL or Cable Modem).
Those lines are LONG and run for miles, so a direct hit is not necessary 
to do damage.

Customer quotes; "I disconnected everything, EXCEPT..." then they list 
ONE item.
Spare K3 board supplies are low or gone.
Besides the most likely Comm Port, then obvious Antenna, I have seen 
lightning come in other things connected to the K3, like;
DC power cord, ground, Paddle/Key, Key-Out to Amp etc.
