[SADXA] Fwd: Re: My antenna meeting FCC limits?

[Gene K5GS]

I sent Dennis a note off the reflector.

Having had a similar situation in Colorado 15 years ago the absolute 
best thing to do is "nothing", as already suggested. Giving them a bunch 
of technical gibberish will come back to haunt Dennis.

In these situations you simply state you're licensed by the FCC, all 
equipment is installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturers 
specifications. If building permits were issued it's OK to say that 
too.  Give them nothing in writing.

If the neighbor is still unhappy, tell them to write the FCC. Then wish 
them a good day. I think Wes is correct - look at Dennis' QRZ page, a 
lot of metal in those pictures.

As I mentioned to Dennis, doing anything else is the road to hell.

Cheers,
GS K5GS

You had some advice that said you shouldn't be talking to them. That 
said, you have, and you're trying to convince them that they are not in 
harm's way.  My suspicion is that isn't their real concern; it's you 
having an antenna, period.  Either way, I doubt that they will listen to 
reason.  If you persist, you might mention that you are closer to the 
source and you and your wife would be the first ones harmed, but you're 
not worried about it, and neither are the other 800,000 hams in the 
country, many of them doctors, nurses, scientists, engineers, Nobel 
prize winners, etc.

You can also challenge their supporting study by pointing out that it is 
by an unknown author, in a third world country, with a "supporting 
corresponding author".  He performed no double-blind tests with control 
groups, published no data, the paper wasn't peer reviewed and is mostly 
a list of references, many of which tout the benefits of rf exposure.*

* You might verify my claims, since a little way into this my eyes 
glazed over and I might have missed something.
