I was checking some old mail and found comments about Kent keys. Does anyone
know where they can be ordered from and if you have one, how do you like it.
Thanks. Bob AC4QO

I live in southeastern wisconsin and we get an average number of thunderstorms a year but I still tried to take all the traditional grounding measures..ground rods at the vertical ground rod s at the house..etc....
The only time I ever suffered damage was last summer...due to a GROUND STRIKE... that destroyed my Power supply and Garage door opener. My Neighbor lost a VCR, Cordless Phone, Two TV's and his built in intercom. Strangley enough open transformer windings was the most common problem...
I guess your never safe....Seems storms always blow up when I'm at work where I can't get home to disconenct everything.`
I too think the best protection is a good insurance policy.
