Zenister 0 #3 October 30, 2003 oh... yea..we used to joke there was a reason all the old AWACs techs were going bald... but seriously i have been told by reliable sources that during the early testing of the radar a hardware store down the street from the test range called to say their lights were flickering, to which they were told "thats the power companies issue, not ours". Until it was explained to them that the lights in question were still on the shelves wrapped in cardboard... unless your climbing towers your REALLY not supposed to be on it shouldnt ever be an issue...so dont worry about the coppery taste in your mouth...it will go away...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Jasmin 0 #4 October 31, 2003 Totally unrelated to the story. I've seen some nasty nasty radiation sickness on mates after a jump from a certain tower....if its buzzin' you shouldn't be jumpin'....xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

Jasmin 0 #7 November 12, 2003 Fine then; clarification: if its buzzing you shouldn't be climbin' or jumping! (Ie don't f***ing do it) The radiation sickness my mates got from a particular tower would've ended even the best sex life (albeit temporarily)!!xj "I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with the earth...but then I wouldn't recommend picking a fight with a car either, and that's having tried both."

FrancoR 0 #8 November 12, 2003 In germany a few soldiers of the Bundeswehr, are demanding compensation because they say they got sick working on radar equipment. It is said that it was older equipment though. The defense minister promised to pay them compensation. The whole thing was in the media in 2001.If it does not cost anything you are the product.
