Hi--
I have read the posts on using NE 51 H's for protecting short wave receivers
from static/lightening on a long wire antenna line.
Since these "fire" at about 70 V, it really seems high.
Would a pair of 1N4004's, back to back in parallel, protect better?
They would go into full conduction at about 0.6 volt, and wired parallel,
reversed, seem to be a better choice.
Is it a matter of RF response time?
Thanks---
Ron
