The point is that under an EMP you wouldn't need to put all your electronics at the bottom of a mine. THey'll probably be fine at home with a surge protector and lightning protection on any external antennas.

But the bottom of a mine would be safe from an EMP, too.........

Thanks. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

BS. Any long wire (even after your surge protector) will couple EMP. Believe it, you will lose much of your stuff in a real EMP event. I know. I worked with the Defense Nuclear Agency testing a facility for that very scenario. Not all of us are no-nothing armchair wankers _Jim.

The reason I even post to these threads is I personally did EMP studies and hardening tests.
