One of my RF burns decided to pop out of my thumb today, its only taken 24 years to work itself to the surface. :o
Thumbs a bit sore now, with a kind of small hole in it, just hope it heals ok. :-\

Antenna Output of some Combining Equipment, being fed with 3 x 120W Paging Transmitters (VHF).
Had just finished Commissioning it, all tested and running, was just just about to close the Cabinet and walk out when I realized I'd left my Bird Thruline hanging of the back. Tried to be clever, as it would have been such a pain to switch the system down again, I thought I would quickly disconnect the meter and managed to stick my thump briefly on the output N type Plug lead, didn't take long to realize what I'd done. :( ::)

Errrr....no. They had a massive place on Edge Lane in Liverpool and, despite them being a high-tech company, we still had to go in and fix their PABX.
