Subject: Re:  High Power Transmitters

Can anyone recommend any links to find information concerning the biological
effects of high powered HF transmitters on the human body. Please feel free to
vent any opinions on the topic.

Sandy

This is some of the most reputable and established documentation I have found. For
additional information check some of the leading academic institutions.

Va Tech
Ga Tech
Johns Hopkins
RPI
Univ. Texas
Auckland

Also check with NEJM (New England Journal of Medicine)  http://content.nejm.org/
and JAMA ( Journal of the American Medical Association )
http://jama.ama-assn.org/.

If you do a search on the following it will yeild links to abstracts  and
