Can anyone help me with research for my degree.

I'm looking for information on ham radio enthusiasts who suffer from
manic depression (bipolar syndrome). I'm researching the effects of
RF fields on electrical activity in the brain. This particular form of
mental illness may be specifically at risk.

Can you put me in contact with anyone who could help me?

Thanks


Gerry - all you have to do is read the posts here to learn just how crazy
some hams are.

Actually, the rf fields involved in ham work are relatively weak -
compared, say to people who work on megawatt or gigawatt transmitters such
as DEWline rigs.

I've been a ham for 50 years and I don't believe there is any higher
incidence of mental illness in that population than in the general public.


I agree with Dan
Maybe study the cell phone population who has a silly phone a few inches
from the brain ALL DAY LONG
