My advice: Don't eat yer tubes, and you'll be OK. This is good advice if you live in an old house with lead paint, as well.
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.
