I'd like an answer to this myself!  Especially to HF radio "radiation" from
3-30 mhz!    I think this whole thing was started by the so-called
hazard of the few milliwatts the cell-phones generate!  I worked around
1.5 Ghz satellite (shipboard) antennas for years, but tried not to get right 
in front of the dish.  Most of those systems ran 20-30 watts into a 24Db. gain
antenna.
