[R-390] Alternative to IERC tube shields?

[LEE BAHR]

My alternative is to use a solid state rice box, and use a R-390 for special 
occasions.  I am not going to get an ulcer or let the lack of IERC tube 
shields in the world suck up 90% of my waking hours.  I have better things 
to do with my life.  A R-390 is a radio, not a divinity!  If a tube's life 
is reduced  10% because of no IERC, plug in a new tube.  You will then again 
be good for another 30 years.  Buy some extra tubes.  Then you don't have to 
worry about all this.

I plan to pet the dog, have a cool brew and listen to Polka Music and eat 
Kilbasa.  You guys can bang your heads on the wall over all this.
