[Icom] Damage

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 11:34:21 -0000

WOW!  Sorry to hear this.

I have a patch panel where I can disconnect EVERYTHING except the ground.
My ground is a 20ft length of 3/4 copper pipe, and 6 ft of 00 copper wire.

Fortunately, El Paso don't get much lightning.  No Tornados.  No Hurricanes.
We do have wind, dust, and HEAT.  But over-all... a safe place for radios.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

Mike.  KD9KC.
El Paso, TX.
