The 'jury is out' on the effects of 3-30 MHz radiation, but one summary
and references are available from TRA Electronic Communications at
(http://www.traelectronics.com/radmanfcc.htm). This suggests concerns
with effects such as "... behavioral modifications, effects on the blood
forming and immunological system, reproductive effects, changes in
hormone levels, headaches, irritability, fatigue, and cardiovascular
effects..."

Shoot! I always thought that all of those things were just the natural
side effects of staying up all night chasing DX...
