[time-nuts] GPS-Attached Equipment Lightning Protection

[Tom Van Baak]

RF gas-based lightning surge protectors are widely available;
look on eBay for items with words like:
  Huber Suhner
  Polyphaser
  EMP surge lightning suppressor protector RGT gas

For example,
  http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=Polyphaser+protector
  http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=Suhner+lightning
  http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=EMP+surge

I'd be interested in reports on how well these work for GPS
antennas, both in terms of lightning protection and in terms
of attenuation, tempco, or phase delay.
