[Hammarlund] Radioactive fallout.

[Paul Kraemer]

Anyone having any mil surplus radio equipment that they fear may have "glow 
in the dark" paint used in lettering and meter faces which may be putting 
them at risk may contact me for immediate disposal.

Yep!  The days get longer, more exposure to light, the LONGER the watch
dial glows.

Only exception I know of are the Military Issue one that are Tritium
dial faces and hands.

They keep those on a Rope - so to speek.  They know who has them, where,
and when.  Same as the Mil Issue Lensatic Compass.  Also uses tritium.

Both require disposal as radioactive waste.
