[AT] Garden tractor???/Now RF hazard

[charliehill]

That's what I always assummed since the station engineer is a friend of mine 
and he never warned me about it.  I just could't understand why the other 
enclosures had the warnings.  Maybe OSHA or maybe to encourage prowlers.   I 
think that 100k tower is 1500'.  The feed coax up the center of it is nearly 
as big as my arm.
