[TenTec] My first TenTec Rig.. RIP

[Dave Tipton]

Last night at approximately 3am, my first TenTec rig, a Jupiter was hit by the effects of a lightning storm.  It was not connected to an antenna at the time, but it WAS connected to a computer, that was attached to a network segment that came directly off of my DSL router.  (Pretty sure this is where it came in the house.. IE Phone line)
   
  I post this, to remind folks, that even if you disconnect the antennas, or have your tower triple grounded with multiple polyphasers, there is still one area in which this particular radio and several others, is still succeptable to EMF pulses.
   
  Keep that in mind as we move into the stormy season.. Let's be safe out there.  Now... Off to call the insurance company....
