1250 watts of 5GHz radiation or 2GHz of radiation (whichever spectrum it
was designed for) is damn dangerous if not shielded. I knew people who
died from that. Someone turned on a radar while the array was being
worked on. He died. You could pull a Daniel Jackson, but Olma won't
ascend you.

Yeah, I have a radiation alarm. It was going off continually, for a
moment I thought it was defective.
Turns out I had a thermocouple wire leaking some RF. Burnt the piss
out of my fingers, like picking up a red hot paper clip. Shut off the
magnetron and the wire was totally cool to the touch. Bit of aluminum
foil as a choke and all was well. Next step is coupling a second
magnetron to this cavity.

Got a pretty bad RF burn from some leakage. No blister.
