Dear James,
I am very sorry to know of the huge loss to your CRS - it feels real bad.
It happened to me on the very day of trial launch - hybrid was struck! Got it
repaired after 2 months; another lightening struck it just before a phone-in
(the same day of reinstallation); it happened a third time! Finally had to
install a rugged hybrid - and I am lucky it's safe.
Ours is also in a high risk area.
I hope things get easier - for all the personal interest you take and efforts
you put in.

This is extremely sad and painful James. Especially considering the fact that
you fought so hard for your radio this setback is heartbreaking.
I hope you will soon get over the current shock and get back on your feet. I am
sure Vinod and sajan can suggest some ways in which CR India can offer some help
In solidarity
