I use tube gear and am unable to have children, so yes, I would say that there is a definite correlation.
Viridian, LMAO! Wait a minute.....that may explain why my children each have 12 fingers.......
Output tube radiation exposure - thoughts?
Anyone out there give much thought to vacuum tube radiation exposure, especially the larger transmitting styles? I'm not sure what distances constitute a potential hazard and taking into account the effectiveness of standard tube cages if present. I recall it was considered a serious topic by some but not all of the ship's radio operators I sailed with in the past. Your impressions / experiences pls.
