It would probably make a nice conversation piece.
You ougt to see what lightning does to a commercial FM antenna. One of

That's the biggest thing I'm afraid of in a thunderstorm, the lightning,
otherwise it's a fascinating phenomenon. I love standing out in a pouring
gale in the summer if I'm not worried about getting struck down, for being
the heathen I am!
Ground, ground, and more ground helps for the hf gear, but DO disconnect
