[TowerTalk] zapped with my dipole. OUCH!

[Phil & Debbie Salas]

The Ohmite MOX-1-123004F resistors are permanently mounted.  I did glop 
Liquid Electrical Tape over them to help protect them from the elements.

I added solder lugs to the resistor leads and just attached them across the 
feed on my rotatable (20/15/10M) dipole, and from the base of my 43-foot 
vertical to ground (my matching network at the base does have DC continuity, 
but sometimes I disconnect the matching network to make measurments with my 
AA230).  I have a 6-meter beam with a direct coax feed (gamma match) so I 
just soldered the resistor from the coax center conductor to a nearby ground 
lug.

Are they permanently mounted?  If so, how do you mount them?  Are there
coax connectors with built-in taps?
