Default radar and health ?

As an ex-RAF radar technician, during WW2 I have stood in the radar
beam, on many occasions, on the airfield runway and in the maintenance
workshop, just a few feet from the parabolic dish, of a 50 KW, 3
Gigahertz, airborne radar.

It was the radar which guided death-dealing machines to their targets,
the many incinerated German cities culminating in the innocent city of
Dresden - entirely destroyed just to educate the Russians whose tanks
were only a few hours away.

I was not warned of the possible dangers of such exposure. The powers
that be were not aware of them either in those days.

I am now in my 81st year. Still alive. I have fathered 5 healthy
children and have grandchildren. Draw your own conclusions about the
real dangers of electromagnetic radiation.
