[nrv-hams] RF Exposure rules and you

[Russ Abbey]

After doing a lot of digging, I have come to the conclusion, as well as the
same one the ARRL came to in 1999, that we don't really need to worry about
mobile stations or HT's.  However, as soon as you string a wire in a tree,
you need to run the calculations.  The best site I have seen, and have used
as they updated it was the Lake Washington Ham Club,
lakewashintonhamclub.org, and it is as easy as plugging in your antenna
height, distance, and power levels.  Most of using 100 or 200 watts don't
really have much to worry about, it is the ones running the full boat of
1000-1500 watts that really have to watch this.  I would post several
documents, but since PDFs are not allowed here I will have to send them to
Cam and if he chooses he can put them on the webpage for you.
