Topband: Lightning and Beverages (score: 1): Author: k3ky@erols.com (k3ky@erols.com); Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2002 18:44:06 -0400; It so happens that I found an open terminating resistor on my 225ft 'shorty' Beverage recently. I tripped over the wire while mowing the front lawn, breaking it off where it connects to the ground ro; /archives//html/Topband/2002-04/msg00060.html (8,959 bytes)

I use three, 1 watt 220 ohm resistors in series for terminators. Every summer I go out and inspect these terminating resistors of my three beverages and they are; /archives//html/Topband/2002-04/msg00061.html (8,534 bytes)

Topband: Lightning and Beverages (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 08:44:10 -0400; Having over 30 antennas is a good test bed for proving reliability of a system. I can't afford to constantly check and replace resistors after storms. Despite being in Georgia, with frequent afterno; /archives//html/Topband/2002-04/msg00063.html (9,652 bytes)

Topband: Lightning and Beverages (score: 1): Author: dwilborg@bit-net.com (Dick Wilborg); Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 14:01:25 +0100; Don, I usually just disconnect the wire input to my transformers, & fold it back on itself, for the "lightning season". Have not had any transformer failures using this method. All input connections; /archives//html/Topband/2002-04/msg00065.html (8,233 bytes)

Topband: Lightning and Beverages (score: 1): Author: W8JI@contesting.com (Tom Rauch); Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2002 07:48:48 -0400; Use a reasonably close-spaced spark gap across the resistors (making absolutely sure you use composition resistors of course). Same at the transformer end. One simple way to do that at the resistor; /archives//html/Topband/2002-04/msg00073.html (8,539 bytes)
