[AMRadio] PACE MAKER QUESTION

[Harold Smith]

I would say that there are too many variables to make a definate statement 
...First place ,if transmitter is well designed,properly installed with 
perfect shielding,perfect bonding good quality feedline a resonant antenna 
with ,say 50 feed  of spacing from antenna to the pacemaker ,and runnung 
legal limit on AM ,the person would probably be safe.. what I would be 
concerned about in using  a pacemaker is: Recently I saw a person with a 
3000 watts output on a mobile amplifier on 27 mhz,, If  you  were standing 
on sidewalk ,light changes ,you are 4 feet from his verticle antenna ,he 
fires it off at 3000 watts ,, that could be a "near field 
"disastor..Probably toast the pacemaker ,wrist watch, cell phone,and all 
other valuable possesions,if you git my drift..Harold W4PQW... Original
