I think the passive components will survive the EMP as good as the tubes
and far better than early solid state. Today's solid state (FET) devices
and circuits have a better chance of surviving than the earliest
germanium RF transistors which were very delicate (and very easily
overloaded leading to great amounts of intermod).
