[Antennas] RF exposure regulations

Wed, 20 Mar 2002 12:20:43 -0500

Harvey, 

I hate to disagree with you.... BUT... It had been proven in the
Telephone company.. that the Western Electric installers who were always
around "low" current DC magnetic fields ended up with a MUCH greater
incidence of cancer than the general population..    As for exposure to
High RF fields, I have personal experience of High RF fields.  Having
lived within 1/4 mile of 3 50KW - 1MW TV antennas, I had bad headaches
continually!! Till I move out of the area. This was in Miami Florida. It
is NOT all fluff..  I know of others who have experienced similar
effects.

That business about exposure to high-voltage transmission lines is a 
sore point with me. Alternating magnetic field were blamed for these 
effects, right off the bat with no research proof whatever. Now after 
years of research and millions being spent, the answer seems to be 
"inconclusive." 
Nobody even thought about other things that these high-tension lines can

cause before they jumped on the magnetic-field bandwagon 
It appears, now, that the same sort of thing has happened with regard to

RF field exposure. Just scare tactics to get the government to spend a 
lot of money on "research" projects.
