Geesus H. !

Considering three strikes a year on average and this is not all the
same strike, and all but the antenna and Heliax have been
inexpensive...Yup.

I've had line noise trash a computer on a sunshiny day. Lost
everything except the CPU of all things.

Computers run 24 X 7 (bout 32,000 hours run time a year) and are hard
wired together with Cat 5 cable.
No problems since going to UPSs with line conditioning.

Last Fall, this one had over 57 transfers to the UPS over 3 months
including 3 brown outs, one black out (quite a few hours), and the
rest was line noise.

I guess so long as you think that you're happy,
then you're happy. ;-)

Every thing is relative. :-))
