Yes. They are cheap and I had no idea of what the lightning risk would be
here.
I've had to do work on the active antennas a few times so I know ground
level lighting currents are around. But never had a problem with the
beverage. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Jeff,
Do you mean six of the Ohmite type OY resistors in parallel?! I can
understand paralleling CF resistors, but just one of those OYs will take
quite a hit.

If you are going to make the order, consider using several in parallel to
improve the surge handling capability. I use 6x 2700 ohms here.
Those might work, although they might be inductive (but probably not
enough to matter at 160m) and might not have the surge rating that the
Ohmite OY resistors have. But I am not sure.
The ones below are the ones everyone uses. However, the 2W 470 ohm type OY
appear to be out of stock. The ones below should work fine.

I am looking for beverage resistors, I think 470 ohms 2 watts will be OK,
right?
In mouser.com I found 660-MOS2CT52R471J and 660-MOS2C471J
