[BC] EMP - SS versus thermionic finals

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

There won't be any residual radiation from an EMP event.  In order to induce 
EMP it must be a very high altitude nuclear detonation that interacts with 
the upper atmosphere in order to induce the pulse.  A ground or low altitude 
detonation will induce a limited short range pulse, but then the blast area 
will outrun the pulse area so why worry about that pulse?  The TX won't be 
there anymore.

Let's see, if there is a nuke close enough to cause EMP destruction of
all my SS gear, why would I want go to work at that location if all my
gear was "hardened" against the EMP? I'm not hardened against the
residual radiation. Would there be anyone left who had a receiver that
was protected from EMP?

My opinion, not my employer's.
