Hello Rob,

Where did you do your electronics studies? In journalism school?

I think you have confused the mains power transmission and distribution 
grids with the control grids in vacuum tubes.

Try going here

and clicking on the link to the top story in the Wall Street Journal.

It's about the risk of high altitude EMP.

I mention it here because it seems to me that vacuum tube gear may be
more immune to the damage of EMP than modern radio gear.
