Three years now without a single strike, since installing one GS2 at the top of our 195' tower on a hill. Before installation, the tower took strikes during every storm. The Gila-Stat has been a real life-changer for me. Constantly replacing equipment used to be a way of life, but not anymore.

I was confused by the short tower and he mentioned AM broadcasting. So glad he said it was a model. I would have been up 3 days trying to figure out the math.

I am very late discovering this, strangely enough I built a folded unipole for VHF many years ago.

Hi Ron, the 40 foot sailboat my wife and I live on is 44 years old and has never been hit by lightning, even though it has been through tremendous lightning storms in Panama, S. Pacific and the coast of Africa. Some sailboats we know of, have been struck 2 and 3 times. I have to think, our luck is because we have a "witches broom", if not the same as yours, then very similar, mounted on the top of our 55 foot mast. The mast is grounded to the bronze propeller strut. There can be no other reason.

Is it installed with a conductive material that goes down to deck/waterline/ground ?

Electrically charged lightning repellent. Prevent the voltage accumulation in the first place. This is what I've been looking for.

1 meter copper lightning rod, 15mm thick, 4 inches ball, covers how much area for lightning? Is it enough for 200sqft mounted solar panels?

i just had our house hit by lighting well a 40 ft hi pine tree 40 feet away the lighting went in to the ground then got in to my earth ground & fried most of my house. if we put a few of these up on the corners of our 1 story house would it help we still have alot of tall trees around?

No, it's not BS. Elevated ground plane antennas are actually quite common and work very well. (Think of a CB radio antenna with the three or four "ground plane" elements.) In the case of medium-wave antennas it also makes it possible to physically inspect the ground system. (Just had to deal with a buried system that was severely damaged by an excavation contractor; had he back-filled his work area it would have been extremely difficult to locate and repair the damage.) But the FCC has been slow to accept this type of ground system for medium-wave operation though and still requires a "proof" of such installations to show that radiated performance similar to a "conventional" ground system is achieved.

It is dangerous to think this product will guarantee a complete protection from a direct lightning strike! I suppose It can only lower the probability of the strike if the engineering design is done correctly... Therefore, a classical lightning instalation (but without classical Franklin rod) is highly recommended anycase

There isn't any lightening or surge protection system that gives you 100% protection. The only thing is to be able to identify one that works close to perfect depending on the environment in which you find yourself. Some geo locations are extremely receptive to lighting. Trees also really help to minimize the impact of lightening. Be environmental friendly when next you decide to pull down a tree(s).
