I hope they had lead shielding on the tube housings. I believe that
above 10KV, tubes begin to emit plenty of X-Rays.

And they coax they had to handle this is??? I know that B-cast
transmitters use some pretty darn big coax and/or waveguide (ever seen
UHF waveguide? It's BIG!) to handle the power. Normal RG-8 would
probably melt! I don't even know about 1" heliax. Probably would need
some of the real big stuff. So WHAT were they using?
This sounds to me like fish stories. Rich said it best: "Bovine Feces."
