About 1980 or so, one of the Ham Magazines had an article dealing with
surviving the bang.  It dealt with how to protect your radios so that
they would be functional after the pulse.  I agree that protection from
use in confrontation is probably futile, as you won't be dealing with
just one bang but maybe 10 or 20 bangs spaced minutes apart for each
major target, but for an accident it might be a good idea.  I don't
have the article but they presented the idea that it was pretty futile
and the only safe bet was to keep a "backup" rig in a shielded metal
box if it was solid state.  Tube equipment may survive if you took some
of their precautions.
