Our ham radio club had a 180 foot tower on the highest hill around. We had a 2 meter repeater in the shack at the bottom of the tower, and the farmer who owned the property placed his electric fencer inside the shack (convenient). Over a several year period, we had several lightning strikes, and almost every time the farmers fencer was reduced to scattered pieces around the inside of the shack. It would literally blow the fencer case apart, and totally destroy the internal components. Our antenna was placed on the side of the tower at 170 feet, and a business band antenna was at the top. The very worst damage to our equipment was a blown fuse in the power supply, and often the business band equipment was hauled away for a complete rebuild. Each leg of the tower was grounded to an individual ground rod with #6 bare copper wire. The lightning strikes would vaporize the #6 copper ground wire. I'm terrified of lightning, and would never be anywhere near that tower if there was a cloud in the sky.
