[Elecraft] Rig Insurance

[n9tf at comcast.net]

Fortunately, my homeowners insurance (State Farm) will pay for that loss up to and including if the rig that was damaged is no longer available, will pay for whatever has taken it's place. Had a test of this back in 1999, when I took a direct hit. Insurance paid 100% "NEW" replacement cost. for all radios and antennas. It was Christmas in May, sorta. Policy still the same, with same coverage. 
Interesting side note of the lightening strike, only rig not damaged at all was the one connected to an Alpha Delta 2 position antenna switch box with arc plug. Three other rigs, power supply and a bunch of other accessories on the bench became toast.

Subject: [Elecraft] Rig Insurance 

I'm wondering with such a large investment in gear if anyone has special 
insurance just for their station? I'm pretty OCD about disconnecting my 
station when not in use (major pain) and actually had my coax arch connector 
arc over recently (I keep rubber covers over the connectors when not 
connected) when a storm was near and there was a lightning hit up the road. 

  

It would be a real shame to invest in a lifetime rig and lose it to 
something silly like a storm/fire..etc. 

Just wondering what folks do and their experiences protecting their 
investments.
