I don't have a permanently mounted antenna and just move my j-pole in and out of the garage when I want to listen or mess around on 2M. I might want to permanently mount an antenna this summer and been reading a lot about lightning protection. what are you guys doing with yours? what considerations? I picked up the ARRL grounding and bonding book, but some of the stuff is sill al little over my head.
do you have pics of ground rods, connections, wire gauge,etc? i've been reading up, now curious what's in practice.
PSA: I used to just unplug my antenna from the radio if I left it outside by accident - but learned that's a big no-no.
