Hi-
I'm going to string 75' of copper wire outside for a longwire antenna
for my sw radios.
I need a lightning arrestor for the single wire feed coming off the
copper wire, but all I can find online are fancy items made for
antennas with cable connectors.

Where can I find a simple, old-school style lightning arrestor?

Any advice you can offer will be most appreciated.

Regards,
Lew.

Take an old Spark-plug
1 - Gap it for 0.010" {0.25 mm}
2 - Ground the Body Attach to a Ground Rod
3 - Wrap/Attach the Antenna wire to the
High Voltage Tip/Terminal.
