I wonder if a gas discharge tube of the correct value in parallel with the
resistor would work?73,Gary K9GS

Terminating Resistors Hello Dick,Many Beverage systems are using a series one
amp fuse (between the Beverage and the resistor) to protect the non-inductive
DXE resistor73Tim K3LR-----Original Message-----From: TowerTalk

Source for Beverage Antenna Terminating ResistorsWondering 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-
