Question for the many people here smarter 
than me:
The "antenna" I hope to try on 8 KC is 
about 2.2 miles of insulated. buried multi-strand cable,
grounded on the far end.  It will be fed unbalanced
with a yet-to-be-determined matching network.

We get storms here in NE Texas with nasty
lightening.  Any strike even remotely close to
this cable is going to set-up some hefty surge
currents in it.  Any recommendations of how
best to protect the amp from these?
Thanks.
