Hello Dick,

Many Beverage systems are using a series one amp fuse (between the Beverage and 
the resistor) to protect the non-inductive DXE resistor

Wondering if anyone has found a beefy 400 to 500 ohm Beverage resistor that can 
handle some nearby lighting strikes?  Or at least one that can hold up a good 
deal better than the average.  Even the 470 ohm 2-watt Beverage Resistors I 
purchase from DXE are blowing up like popcorn here at my Florida QTH.
Thank You & 73, Dick- K9OM
