Dave, That is more than likely true. When I read an article like that, I
overlook the "fluff" (solder connections), and try to get as much of the "meat
and 'taters" out of it as I can so that I can MAYBE apply it to my
situation.......
That is all

Yes, but why would anyone rely on soldered connections (as for the coax
shield to braided ground cable)? Solder would definitely have the
highest resistance per unit volume in the whole chain, and it melts when
it gets hot. I would think such a connection would be more like a fuse
that blows before the surge has progressed very far.
