Dick,

You could roll your own with these if you can find a reseller willing to meet your ohmage and quantity requirements: Ohmite 800 & 1000 Series, Tubular High Energy Bulk Ceramic

The Ohmite Ceramic Resistor Division Tubular Non-Inductive Bulk Ceramic Resistors provide excellent performance for high peak power or high-energy pulses.

Type SP applications include: 
• Motor drive circuits
• Snubber circuits
• High-frequency circuits
• RF dummy loads
• Dynamic braking
• Transformer protection
• Harmonic filter

Good Luck and 73.
Steve, NL7W

Wondering if anyone has found a beefy 400 to 500 ohm Beverage resistor that can handle some nearby lighting strikes?  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
