[TenTec] re Lightning Strike Results...

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

I have carried the ARRL-Marsh insurance for a few years now.  I have never 
had a problem, and I have never heard of this business of having to insure 
every single item.  No one in their right mind would insure a $20 swr 
bridge.  I only list my gear with them that cost me more than $500.  On 
everything else, I keep my fingers crossed and will eat the damage if 
anything happens.  Never had a problem with that.  My annual premium is 
around $100.

A few years ago I lost (for the second time) the h.v. xformer in my 
Centurion.  I got the Dahl replacement which cost around $300 and since the 
amp was at TT, had them put it in.  The whole cost added up to approx. $500. 
  I filed a claim with Marsh, expecting it to be denied for some picky 
reason in the fine print, but what the heck, you don't know until you try 
right?, and to my pleasant surprise they covered everything, sent a check, 
no hassles at all.
