I hope you don't keep your radio connected to the long wire when storms
start to roll in. That would be almost a guarentee to a short life for
your radio!


That's the main reason for plugging an "extension" cable into the radio and
plugging the antenna into it.

Keeps from wearing out the jack on the radio.

All of a sudden, a huge flash (our sitting area overlooks the lake we live
on -- and has large picture windows) and an ENORMOUS "KABOOM!!!" happened.
No other thunder (or lightning) happened, before or after -- this was the
only strike. Now I really understand that this is the kind of event that
kills golfers.
