[amsat-bb] Re: Lightning protection

The best practice varies from region to region. Omission of a single factor 
can negate any insurance claims, so the best practice is to hire the 
services of a licensed electrician who would be familiar with the local 
electrical code. The insurance company should be able to provide references.
