I thought about it, but decided between firearms, reloading, tools and cars, I had enough expensive hobbies...

The Marines had a microwave radio that was capable of tropospheric scatter, it was great fun to watch the seagulls land on the feed horn and fall to the ground fully cooked....

Heard of a guy who had a chocolate bar in his shirt pocket that melted and gave him 1st degree burns on his chest. The guy was in Army in Alaska working some type of radio. This was passed on to me from my cousin who was up there years ago.

A good HF radio will do that in CW (continuous wave, also known as morse code). I had a shelter that had two radios capable of 1000W, it also served as a MARS radio switch (telephone capability). I figured out the CB freqs and could talk to truck drivers anywhere in the US. The shelter was set up about 1/4 mile from a highway and I fried a dude's CB in CW. He was walking on folks and wouldn't let them on the channel. I warned everyone I was going to transmit in CW and told them to clear the channel for 5 minutes. I keyed up the radio while I was standing in the door of the shelter. I saw a semi scream to a stop on the side of the road and a guy bail out, with smoke rolling out of the cab. No more problems on that channel...

Years ago when CB radios was the in thing. I had one with a 300 watt amp in my one truck. Had a roll bar in the bed with 2 KC Highlighter lights on it and a short whip mounted between the lights. With the lights off, the amp on. I would key the mike and the lights would glow.

We had a problem with our gun system and a system mechanic was working on it in the turret. I was standing over it as he kept mashing the range only radar button to activate. Then he says "oh, the radar isnt working properly. Must be a broken radar guide tube".. 90degree price of tubing that guided the radiation waves. It had a hairline fracture. I look down, right in front of my nuts, the radar guide tube... no wonder I dont have kids..

Think that would fry your nuts.

Just think. If you had kids. They may of had a 3rd eye in back of their heads.
