Barry, I rather doubt these "feelings" would show up in any of the above sites since those are all RF applications and as such, are very well contained. I will say that in a prior life, I was allowed into a weather radar site on an island in the Pacific once. The transmitter building had interlocks on the doors so when you entered, you crow-barred the transmitter. We did one test where we powered it up while inside. Can't say I was very comfortable there. Couldn't feel much but our instruments indicated heavy RF fields. Closest comparison I can make is being inside a microwave oven. With a megawatt coming off the dish, there was much in the way of stray fields in the TX building, even though it was all in waveguides. In the end, my stomach got flippy while there and I was very glad to leave. > Scott [email protected] --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
