[BC] AM transmitter lightning sensitivity issue

[Tom]

This discussion of the merits of various lightning protection devices 
reminds me of the (supposedly-true) story of the two houses on adjacent 
hills - one of ill repute, the other of worship.  While the preacher was 
denouncing "lightning rods" as an affront to Divine Will during a 
thunderstorm.... the church was struck by lightning and burned to the 
ground... while the .. er, "other" house was spared because it was 
festooned with Franklin Rods.

YMMV....

but anecdotes don't "prove" anything, either - just "In my 
experience..." <grin>
