[TriLUG] OT: Lightning protection (was DTV transition and new ATSC frequencies)

[Jim Ray]

if mother nature wants to get you, she's going to do it. i have lost 2 phone systems in the last 9 years even with 12 AWG ground to relay rack, gas discharge surge suppressors on incoming phone lines and UPS.
 
there is no protection. only best practices.
