[Amps] Voodoo death rays from amplifier windows

[RFlabnotes at aol.com]

I have calculated the magnitude of the circulating harmonic currents in the 
tank coil of a typical PI-NET amplifier (Q=9) and found them to be well under 
-60dbc from 7f and up. Since the field of the tank coil would be the likeliest 
contributor of VHF death rays due to its large external field, this is a good 
first approximation for resolving the issue. 

P.S. I have always used very fine mesh screen for the window, which is also 
what many commercial TX mfrs. have done throughout the past. It gives an even 
more etherial view of nice glowing anodes than window screen. It is availiable 
in any quantity, mesh, and material (copper, bronze, SS, fiberglass. etc.) 
from McMaster-Carr.
