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? > On Thu, Jan 10, 2019 at 11:56 AM Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > On Sunday 06 January 2019 12:03:10 Kenneth Lerman wrote: > > > > Back on the list Kenneth, thank you. > > > > > Gene, > > > > > > You can tell me that it's none of my business, but having your > > > heart rate decrease by a factor of two can be a sign of serious > > > cardiac problems.
