[Boatanchors] PACE MAKER QUESTION

[The Pollacks]

Of course, John is correct about advice. I wonder, however, if there are
warnings about driving close to 50KW broadcast stations, as well?  Not being
an overly technical sort (a boatanchor guy like John!) I can't comment, but
I've often wondered about the fields around broadcast stations and high
powered TV stations since all the discussions began about the possible
health effects of RF fields and cell phones!

Let's be glad that the friend is concerned about the health of his XYL!  I
think there are some among us who might be tempted to fire up the amp when
their XYLs entered the room!  (Joke, or course!)  I'm lucky that I'm not
among them!

Best for the holidays to all!

Hey everybody and Bob Peters,

This subject should be between the patient and their doctor.  PERIOD!

None of our guesses mean squat, especially if a 
life is effected.  We should stay out of giving any advice.

Please stop this thread now.
