Thu, 21 Mar 2002 07:41:10 -0500

Well, it may be hoey, but I now have cancer... been exposed to it the RF
and the EMF of AC  & DC...  Age 61!! 

Milt, you need to also consider... that you exposure was limited! to
work time s not continuous exposure!  You can also be exposed to 130DB
sound level for short periods with out any hearing loss...

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.
