I wonder if a gas discharge tube of the correct value in parallel with the resistor would work?73,Gary K9GS

Or at least one that can hold up a good deal better than the average.  Even the 470 ohm 2-watt Beverage Resistors I purchase from DXE are blowing up like popcorn here at my Florida QTH.Thank You & 73, Dick- K9OM______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
