Just curious...given you fly x number of hours per year in the danger zones.
1. Are the rates of radiation higher in day than night, or is it a background thing?
2. Does blocking direct exposure of the sun to the skin make a difference? That is, putting newspapers, sunshades, etc up on the windscreen...does that help?
