[TowerTalk] Insuramce (robert wa1fcn)

[Joe Giacobello, K2XX]

Richard, based on the assessments of some ham aquaintances, the ARRL 
insursurance is limited and inferior to what's available, though 
surprisingly, from your typical home owner's insurance.

I was clued into this by  a W8 qso, who was a susceptible to severe 
thunderstorms, tornadoes, etc.  I have had "full replacement coverage" 
for my homes with residences in NJ and, now, in Virginia.  I won't go 
through the litany of incidents that they have quite responsisbly 
compensated me for over the years, but htey have been remarkably 
honorable.  I strongly suggest that you consult with your home owner 
insurer for guidance.  OTOH, you may want to contact me privately for 
the names of my insurers,  former and current.

73, Joe
