[Elecraft] Non-ionizing radiation permit

[Fred Jensen]

Actually, each of us is supposed to perform the analysis and file the 
results in our "station records."  Those used to be log books.  Mine is 
in one of my station notebooks now.  I used something on-line [ARRL?], 
it was quick and simple and I just printed it and pasted it into my 
notebook.  It was awhile ago, and I'm not sure which physical notebook 
it's in, I may do it again if I can find the on-line calculator, just in 
case the FCC visits. :-)

It's by no means onerous, and no one is "sucking money" from us, it's 
free.  Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation can and will cause 
a variety of biological problems.  All we're doing is validating that 
the levels from our stations are within standards.  Not everything the 
government does is always bad.  If I can find the online resource I 
used, I'll post a URL here for those who may be newer and haven't done 
it yet.

And, Jim has already acknowledged the missing "not" between "will" and 
"pose" in his reply.
