[OFARC] RF safe distances for FD

[ralph phillips]

I have used an RF safety calculator on the ARRL web page to verify safe distances from antennas.
I looked at 40m to 10m at 100watts output.  The greatest distance needed is 10m at 100w and 100% duty cycle ( digital) .. 5.2 feet from the antenna to the operator.

 2m and 70cm at 50w FM (100% duty cycle) requires a minimum of 3 feet from the operator to the antenna.

I had previously said to plan on 50 ft of coax.  Now I see we can use shorter runs and be ok with safety criteria.
I plan on 20 ft to allow walking room around my station.
