Howdy guys,
I found this old thread from 2009 and it answered all my questions except one. The thread suddenly dies, closed.
I'm using a setup that Huge Satellite installed back when I had their internet service (really bad, expensive). So I already have a shield ground box, copper rod in the ground, and I'll ground my small rooftop mast. But just when the OP asked about what arrester the gurus in the thread recommended, the thread dies.
Anybody have a recommendation for a good coax lighting arrester to install at the base of the mast? I'll be running a couple old 2067 scanners on that RG6. They have sentimental value to me. And who wants a 3kV jolt inside their house. Central Texas, we do get lightning. In fact a strike 75 yards away killed the Huge Satellite modem and I see why, they had no arrester installed.
