[Elecraft] Rig Insurance

[G4GNX]

Although I'm in the UK and slightly different rules may apply, generally I 
would say don't be without complete station insurance. Not only insurance 
against rig damage by any means, but also against damage to all other parts 
of your station and perhaps more importantly, public liability insurance to 
cover against any part of your station causing damage to any other person or 
property. My own station is insured in the sum of $7000 with public 
liability cover of $3million.

You really do need specialist insurance as most ordinary residential 
insurance companies just don't understand our "special needs" and will 
attempt to wriggle out of a payout on very flimsy grounds.

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.
