Many of us removed the covers because we thought the tubes ran too hot with
the covers on. There is very rarely any TVI from these low-band radios, so
removing the covers did no harm.

This was not necessarily true of the five+ band transceivers (SB10x, HW10x,
etc.). In addition to radiating harmonics within the TV channels on 20, 15
and 10 meters, the neutralization was sometimes affected, too. Usually, we
would instead mount a muffin fan over the final cage on those radios, which
accounts for the "midnight" shadow one sometimes finds on the cases over
the finals.
