Last weekend I was at the Washington Navy Yard.
While touring the destroyer, one of my daughters said "Daddy, they have one
of your radios here"
Ahh, an R-390A....with some kind of radiation warning stickers on the
meters....
My wife, an RN, askes what the warning stickers are about. I explain the
whole glow in the dark, gumment ripping out meters process.
She comments that my radio still has the meters and is this dangererous?
Me (thinking of list comments) that it is only dangerous if you take out the
meters and lick them....
I get "the look"...
The Navy Yard museum is a good tour. Try to do it when in DC....
