I have lived here all my life, over 80 years, have been a ham over 50 years.  I have had one lightning strike whenI had a 25' tower, it hit my printer which was fixable.  My current antenna is a wire antenna attached to the house,I only connect the antenna when I want to get on the air.

Subject: [BVARC] roof antenna lightning strikes

How common are home roof antenna (12 foot or less) lightning strikes in 
Houston?

How many BVARC folks have had a lightning strike on their radio (or TV) 
antenna (elevation 12 foot or less) on their roof?

Is this a Stir-Crazy Net subject?

Thanks,

Mike
