[Ham-Mac] RF from XM radio

[Robert C. Smithwick]

Bob - - -

I have files full of articles, studies, research etc. most of which 
conclude there is little to be concerned about - including cell 
fones. If really concerned/interested I'll see if I can find the file 
and send you some pertinent information.
