I had an HDBX-48 tower up with a Wilson tribander on it. The storm was close enough to hear distant thunder, but there was really no local lightening at the time. It scared me to the point I went in the house. Laying on the ground 30 feet from the tower with all that clicking was unnerving. I fully expected lightening to strike, although it never did. I know I couldn't have climbed the tower, HI! Jim KJØM -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
