Uses 20-foot wire strung around repeater house to pick up pulses induced by lightning, Keep wire well away from antenna and transmitter. Pulse at SCR gate turns it on and energizes relay that activates signaling device at desired location. Circuit automatically resets itself after capacitor discharges through 10K resistor.-P. A. Stark, Simple Lightning Detector, 73Magazine, April 1973, p85.
