Bob,

Probably it would require at least 10 of these in parallel to be sure a loop 
signal within 1K miles wouldn't blow it out.  <GGG>

Seriously, this idea looks like a good one Bob. Inside my final box I could 
form a high voltage capacitor (like 10pf @5kV) by wrapping a wire around one 
of the leads going to the loop (the loop floats relative to gnd). This 
'lightening signal' could be brought back to the shack via an unused wire in 
my existing supply cable. Has anyone tried using a fluorescent tube 
connected to an antenna for a bigger effect?

Bill
