It likely would not have as much levity w/o me. I wonder if they have
faraday cage sized to fit me.
I had company come into a transmitter site while I was working on a ch-8
tv transmitter, one of the neighbors half a mile back down the hill in
Iron Mountain MI, and when I had turned it on, he headed for the door,
and managed to get far enough away it started working again before he
was in real trouble. I didn't know until then he had a pacemaker. So now
I would no doubt be in that same boat. And I do have one of those
induction heater thingies. 1500 watter according to the propaganda.
Maybe I should find a new home for it?
