[Antennas] RF Exposure.. Hoooey....

Wed, 20 Mar 2002 21:39:15 -0700

And I've been around it all.  RF as an amateur, 2-way radio tech, VHF & UHF
TV, FM broadcast stuff and 2 gHz through 7 gHz microwave for 42 years,
around the transmitters and near the antennas on the towers.

During this same period I have also worked extensively as a high voltage
lineman spending days after days on the poles in the near fields of the AC
transmission and distribution lines.  I make the big 60 this year.  I work
an average of 14 hours per day and a lot of extra curricular activities.  I
haven't had to take a day of sick leave for the last five years.

I have known numerous lineman who worked their entire careers on the pole
lines, retired, and lived into their 80s and 90s before slipping quietly
away.  I do not know of a single occurance of any of them who has passed
away due to cancer or similar maladies.
