[BC] lightning protection

[Alan Alsobrook]

Hate to say this, but I have had the opportunity to see a few CD systems 
installed, and according to the CE's of the sites, their annual 
lightning damage went from about 200K a year, down to less than 1K per 
year. The facilities in question were TV.

I guess the big question is how can you prove that a lightning strike 
was prevented?

Luckily, I'm in Florida lightning isn't an issue here. :)
