Re: Topband: Relays for Beveridge Antennas

[Mike Waters <mikewate@gmail.com>]

NO relay --or any other Beverage component-- will take a direct hit. :-)

There are some criteria we need to look for in a Beverage relay, but the
voltage rating is not necessarily one of them. It's important to provide
some relay protection against lightning-induced surges from nearby strikes.
Some people use GDTs; others use spark gaps.
