[Elecraft] Rig Insurance

[Don Wilhelm]

Yes, and the ARRL insurance covers your gear even when mounted or 
transported in a vehicle (many homeowner's policies do not cover that, 
and you must rely on your auto insurance for recovery - good luck, many 
exclude radio gear).  It also covers antennas and towers if you specify 
those on the policy.
Yes, you must enumerate your gear that you wish to be covered, but once 
that is done, you are covered for full replacement value.

My only experience with an ARRL insurance claim was through a customer 
who wanted to use his K2/100 for Field Day, and someone connected the 12 
volt supply with reverse polarity.  The KPA100 became a "crispy 
critter", but the ARRL insurance covered the cost of a new kit plus my 
fee to build it - in full (I did not get the details of any 
deductible).  The process was very quick and both myself and the 
customer was a pleasant one.
