Re: [TenTec] EMP Product Obsolescence

I'm sure that he meant 1974 or 1984.  In 1874 they only had landline 
morse telegraph.  Now during the civil war they sent up observers in 
balloons with morse keys. Lightning would be an issue there, but not EMP.
The first EMP incident, predating the atomic bomb was probably War of 
the Worlds (1939?)
