I claimed two year's ago, when we had a lightning strike.  It paid for 
repair to radio, new ATU, new rotator/control box, new Microham unit and 
host of other stuff that I cannot immediately recall.  It was all done by 
phone and was well into four figures.  The insurance company (Barclays, and 
I am not connected!) gave the go ahead over the phone, did not visit or even 
ask me to submit the busted gear.  Whilst dealing with that claim, I 
sked  - and they confirmed - that my household insurance policy also covered 
my masts and aerials.
