helge 0 #1 January 11, 2007 Anyone know what 250Kw of 90 to 110 kHz radiation will do to your health? The subject is a LORAN-C mast.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdatc 0 #3 January 11, 2007 Loran-C Frequently Asked Questions Is Loran-C a risk to health? The McManus Report investigated public health regarding radiation from a transmitting mast such as the proposed Loop XXXX Loran-C. The power output is no greater than that of a typical RTE or BBC station. Aside from precautions to be taken by maintenance personnel servicing the mast and limiting public access, there have been no identifiable risks for public health. All LORAN-C antennas radiate an omnidirectional pattern... Beats the hell out of me, but then again, I hate towers and they hate me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base736 0 #4 January 11, 2007 The studies that I've read indicate that damage from RF radiation (such as this) is limited to tissue heating and is usually temporary. Near a typical radio transmitter, this might mean temporary sterility, and apparently warming of the eyeballs is noticeable early on. More power gets you into nausea / vomiting territory, then temporary blindness. As to the particular power of this transmitter, you'll need to find somebody who's actually been on one, since the intensity of the radiation depends sensitively on the distance from the transmitting element and how the radiation is distributed. There is, according to what I've read, no conclusive evidence that RF radiation causes, for instance, cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carpediem 0 #6 January 11, 2007 Don't worry man the radiation on all A's is good for you! It doesn't cause cancer it kills cancer cells, so to keep healthy get your ass out there and huck that bitch! Those who do, can't explain. Those who don't, can't understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waldschrat 0 #8 January 12, 2007 Depends on frequenz, output power and pulse. Definitly i would stay away from any kind of radar towers/antennas. In Germany was a big problem with cancer sick soldiers. (after 10-20 years) The have had all to work on radar stations. I dont know if that was an direct problem of the radar radiation itself or of this old radar units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blitzkrieg 0 #9 January 12, 2007 Quotethere have been no identifiable risks for public health. just a note... public health investigations make a huge difference when compared to direct exposure. if anyone actually thinks it's healthy to stand in front of any emitter pushing wattage starting with a K, by all means give it a little kiss before you huck.
