This is a good idea, and I know has been used in the past. I believe that
Datum & Austron used to recommend something like this for areas where
lightning was a problem.

What about mounting the antenna on the side of the metal pole, with the top
of the pole extending a foot or more above the antenna?

The idea is to have the lightning bolt strike the pole, but not the antenna.
The cable shield would need to be insulated from the pole, but grounded on
entry to the building.

Would the pole disturb the GPS signal to any noticeable extent?

Cheers
Stefan
