TV aerial on Greek Island. ?

[Evans Electric]

Just had an email from my cousin who has just moved to a Greek Island , theres a lot of lightning there and he,s asking me about earthing the new aerial . Does anyone know of such things ? I've told him not to provisionally, because I don't like the sound of it , unless its common practice there. He'd need a full blown downlead and rod.

I recommended an anti surge multi plug with built in lightning protection .

Any other input would be appreciated.

when i lived in Cyprus they didnt bother on domestic properties

if you saw the electrics you could understand why......anything to cut a corner

just tell him to use an indoor aerial,

if he want BBC then hes gouing to need a mighty big aerial anywy and lightning is the least of his worries.

other than that its going to be my (from now on) default answer of, :C
