The two metal rails running from one end to the other somewhat defeat to purpose, making the air gap effectively only two thickness of particle wood. I've seen with my own eyes a lightning arc about 30cm (about 12 inches) in length; thankfully it was merely a 'leader' and the main strike went elsewhere (blowing up a pine tree). That arc took out four transistors in my old radio. Perhaps you know this already. Cheers. :-)

Awesome set up! fyi may help they make push on style PL259s. Line it up and no more fumbling around with threading. But let me say you have inspired me Sir to toss all responsibility aside and PLAY RADIO !! ! 73 my friend and Happy DX to you.

My oh my, I have been thinking about the same thing wondering if it is possible to do such a thing since I really don't trust lightning arrestors that much. For me, diaconnecting your antenna is safest way to protect your equiptment. Everytime there's a thunder storm or when I leave the house during thunder storm season, I always disconnect my antennas. You did a fantastic job on this project of yours and thank you so much for sharing this. All the best and 73.

Where did you buy the PL259 quick connectors from? I have been looking for these for quite some time. Now this is truly a disconnect system for antennas. I just hope you never need it, better we are not struck by lightning to begin with but if it should happen, you are prepared. It would be nice if when you turn off radio gear power that it goes into auto disconnect mode. You never have to worry about disconnecting. It’s automatic.

Outstanding work. You can use so plastic guide to line up the connectors when they close (1-2cm) so this way, it can operate without a human to oversee if it fits alright

I think that's the idea. I saw a Canadian who did something similar but had a piece of perspex drop down between the 1' gap to provide a barrier to arcing. He had his connected to some AM thing and could detect when lightning was not far away. Pretty clever stuff.

Great radio, receiver is probably better than TS520 which is solid state but came later. de Wb8yqj

With a Dummy Load & external Power Meter, It goes as far as about 85 - 90 watts on FM, 50 watts AM, When using another listening receiver, I can just about hear SSB, But no power whatsoever !

Yes, I do, But not SSB.
