Too much RF can cook us. TOO MUCH certainly can, and of course there are many documented cases. It's Thierry's use of "we know" that bugs me. Does anyone actually *know* of any case whe People have been working in (inside) a radiotelescope dish AND The transmitter has been on (most radiotelescopes don't even have one) AND They have become sterile? No, I thought not. That's because it's pure techno-folklore. -- 73 from Ian G3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek |
