Looks like you are staying busy! Good luck on the new gear hunt, thats a lot of fun... Maybe not so much in your situation, but at least you did get some cash to go shopping with, hi hi. My grounding is pretty basic, couple ground rods with #6 solid ran back to shack. Been here 30yrs, had several lightning hits on trees, as close as 100ft from the shack and never lost anything or had damage. If lightning "wants" to do damage, there is no stopping it... I've had a 40ft pecan, and an large apple tree both killed by lightning hits. 73 WD9M
