Howdy! Roy,

On April 19, 2014 You wrote about getting a RF Burn because the Wife
pressed the Microphone PTT Button while You were adjusting the Gamma
Match on a Yagi Antenna, and later wrote it was 5 Watts of RF Power.

On May 23, 2014 when I wrote if I keyed up my TS-520S and touched the
antenna that was connected to the TS-520S I thought I would get a RF
Burn from the Unmodulated UpperSideBand SSB Supressed Carrier.

I've been thinking about that message and thought a NE-2 Neon Light
Bulb would had been a Much Safer Way to Indicate If Or Not there was
any RF on my 20M Inverted Vee Antenna If I Had Tried That Test.

I haven't seen anyone talking one way or another about that so I
thought I would send this additional comment to You.
