[Elecraft] A dumb question about lightning

[Al Lorona]

Hi, Everybody,

I greatly apologize for escalating the list traffic with my question on lightning. I merely wanted to get your thoughts on disconnecting equipment in addition to grounding and bonding. And the overwhelming consensus-- in both public and private responses-- is that yes, in fact, most people physically disconnect, rather than relying 100% on grounding and bonding to protect their equipment. So I'm going to continue to do so, accepting this practice as necessary in the state where I now live.

Keep on reading the books, installing proper grounding, follow the law, and follow good practice. And good luck avoiding a direct hit!

Regards,
