From the first of March until the first of November, I disconnect my antenna
everytime I shut the radio down.  It only takes a minute and I don't always
know when I'm going to get back to the radio.

Hi all, I have an interesting question for the group:
        If you can't see streaks of lightening, how do you know when it is
necessary to disconnect your antenna?  Sometimes, you can hear the thunder
and you would disconnect the antenna when you hear it.  However, if there is
a lightening strike and you don't hear anything, how do you know when your
antenna should be disconnected?  Thanks in advance.

Eric
