I tend to agree with Steve here... My insurance agent said almost the same thing... Don't call in your home owners unless you really need too...
Also, given that I believe the ARRL insurance seems to cover stupidity, (you spill water in your rig it pays off), the fee is not all that bad. I had a rider on my home owners policy for a rather expensive telescope I once owned a few decades ago, and the cost was about the same, it was also a stupidity coverage type of policy. So given that the policy just pays off for almost anything, I would expect it to be higher than normal. I will be getting ARRL insurance for my rig. -- Thanks and 73's, For equipment, and software setups and reviews see: www.nk7z.net For MixW support see; http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For Dopplergram information see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/dopplergram/info For MM-SSTV see: http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MM-SSTV/info On Sat, 2015-08-08 at 17:43 -0400, Steven Stuckey wrote: > My homeowners insurance stated "The ARRL insurance is a really good deal. > If you have a claim on your ham radio equipment it would be against your > policy and rates may be affected.
