6BK4/high voltage regulator tubes

Interesting what you say about no reports of repairmen with cancer.....I've heard that some broadcast engineers who were exposed to transmitter radiation (AKA Microwaves) had LOTS of health problems as they were literally being cooked from the inside out.

There's story, which may just be urban legend, of an engineer who worked at the Empire State Building transmitter in the early/mid 50's who seemed to age 30 years over the course of a single year and died. His wife sued someone over his early death...don't know anymore of the details....does anyone?

Then again, there are the Darwin Award winners such as the night watchman who was stationed out in some frozen tundra and noticed that when he passed in front of a microwave link antenna that he felt warmer.....so he pulls up a chair and starts sucking a bottle of booze inside out----he passes out and his crusty carcass is found the next morning! Please pass the BBQ sauce, YUM!
