Pete, 
Are you saying the Polyphaser is still ok?  That the low R was caused by a path 
within the adapter?
Interesting.

So we don't actually know if the gas tube fired or not then, do we?  Because 
maybe most or all the energy went to ground through the N-PL250 adapter before 
it got to the place where the arrestor was mounted.  I'm assuming the adapter 
was out by the tower and the Polyphaser was near the entrance to the shack.
