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. It's possible that this
particular form of mental illness could be specifically at risk.

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

The only one I know is a guy in the Orkneys. GM3POI - his name
is Clive Penna. Apparently he has a manic episode every nine
days regular as clockwork - and that's pretty bad from what
Ive been told. Broke up his marriage apparently.

I can't see him helping you with info though. He's not the type - but
then perhaps that's just another symptom.

Wow! That answers a few questions. I've heard POI giving a GM4
a hard time on the bands. Must have been in nutcase mode at the
time. He'd better not try it with me !!
