Default What is the correlation between radio waves and cancer?

Probably if I hadn't had the following experience, I would think you were
kinda loony, Jeff. But I know exactly what you describe.

Several times in my 4th semester in college a good friend and myself would
ditch English class and drive up to Mt. Wilson, the mountain peak above Los
Angeles where almost all of its radio and TV antenna installations are.

There have to be several megawatts of VHF and UHF ERP up there.

Each time we made the trek in his Pinto station wagon, almost as soon as we
rounded the final bend at the top, I would start to feel nauseous. I
couldn't stay up there for more than a few minutes, and for several hours
afterward I would have what I came to call an 'RF headache'-- a dull,
debilitating haze that affected my focus and appetite. I don't know how
anyone who has to work up there does it, having to live in that environment.
