Introduction

The WARC-79 identified the requirement for the service Study Groups of the CCIR to give consideration to the needs of their services to effect protection of installations against atmospheric electricity, particularly lightning discharges. This Report, relating to sound broadcasting, complements information for the fixed and radio-relay services contained in Reports 861 and 932 respectively.

CCITI Study Group V is currently considering the protection of telecommunication lines and equipment against lightning discharges and the overall subject of lightning protection is under review by IEC Committee TC 81.
