I fully agree, Lloyd! Below 30 MHz, not to worry. - There have been thousands of AM and SW broadcast engineers, each with a lifetime of intense RF exposure, none of whom have been harmed in the least.
- And that doesn't count the residents living near the transmitters, such as those houses --with families living in them-- directly in the path of that Sterba curtain's 25 megawatt RF field! - Or us Topbanders! :-) I firmly believe that the FCC standards for HF exposure were composed with an overabundance of caution (or should I say paranoia?). Too many lawyers. And too many greedy idiots eager to hire them. The exception might be diathermy, a medical treatment which intentionally uses a very strong and concentrated RF field to heat and treat human tissue. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com On Sat, Apr 9, 2016 at 3:50 PM, Lloyd - N9LB <[email protected]> wrote: > ...
