   RF Burn

   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.
