All,

What type of glitch resistor is recommend to reasonably sustain a glitch 
event?

Both Alphas in the shack here use 50W, 50-ohm Clarostat wire-wound types, 
suspended from glazed-ceramic insulators.   My Alpha 70V originally had no 
glitch resistor, nor clamping diodes (3 X 1N5408) from HV (-) to ground.  I 
added these back in '98 with no problems in this area to date.
