[Amps] Odd query....

[Roger (K8RI)]

Strange isn't it, that with those diets  that heart attacks were rare. 
Now  we have low fat, no fat, low cholesterol,  what they deem healthy, 
yet we ate those foods which were the antithesis of of good for us yet 
were more healthy.  What changed?  Did we need all the radiation and 
risk from those bread board and unshielded circuits.  Nah, my dad always 
ate that stuff although he got poked off the electric fence often.

I never had high BP, or high cholesterol until I started working out and 
"eating right".  I worked right next to open coil, induction heaters 
running a couple hundred KW.  I did have a legal limit amp with no 
covers or shielding and survived although I never wore a neck chain 
while working on it, then had two strokes and one heart attack.

A fib caused the strokes. Had I known that two weeks sooner it would 
have only been one stroke and I'd still be climbing towers.

Never got hurt climbing towers.  Did get knocked unconscious from an 
HT-44 PS though.  I was on the work bench, woke up laying on the floor 
gasping for breath.

Ham radio and diet.  Don't think they are related, although I see a lot 
of hams that look like a walking heart attack looking for a place to 
happen and even with the change in foods, are hams as a group more prone 
to...<:-))

It's still biscuits and gravy up here in the farm country.
