[Elecraft] Parallel line lightning arrestors

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Mike and all,

The Wireman www.thewireman.com lists both the ICE balanced line arrestor and 
their CQ brand.  I have used the CQ brand for some time now - it is a simple 
spark gap type (like the gap on a spark plug - in fact, this arrestor does 
use 2 spark plugs).  You COULD build your own with spark plugs threaded into 
a heavy grounded copper bar, but at $19.95 doing the metalwork involved may 
not be worthwhile unless you have a home shop.

73,
Don W3FPR
