[Boatanchors] Safe radiation question

[Dale Parfitt]

You might be 6' away from the antenna, but used in that manner, the outside of the feedline shield will likely be radiating as much as the antenna- so you  could very well be right at the 'antenna'.

Probably won’t hurt you but it might set off every smoke alarm in the building

I'm aware of some of the issues with much higher frequencies including the debate on cell phone usage so close to ones head. HF - I don't know. I'm thinking of using an Outbacker on a tripod in the same room. The antenna would be about 6 feet away. Don't do it?
