Static discharge

Most radio amateurs and radio listeners do not use any kind of protection against transients between the antenna and the apparatus, thinking that it is unlikely to be damaged by such an eventuality.

Unfortunately, unlike valve equipment, such problems occur frequently, as modern devices use very delicate components.

Often thunderstorms are the cause of a very high accumulation of static electricity on the antenna: lightning that falls even many kilometers away can reach values up to several thousand volts.
Although the power is not high, these voltages can damage, even seriously, the entry stage of our equipment and, as the service centers can testify, these cases are not uncommon.
Often then operating on laptop, perhaps at the sea, it will be quite likely to be in windy areas, or in any case in the presence of electricity in the air. Charges can accumulate on the antenna, but they would then end up dumping on the ground at the most convenient point: typically, the FET of the front end of our precious apparatus!

To avoid this unfortunate possibility we can put, immediately at the base of the antenna this simple and economical "antenna static discharge" but with safe performance will protect you from statics effectively.

Applicable power max. 500 watts
