I know there has been some claims to link Cancers to RF exposure, I am
retired Broadcast transmitter guy, who spent more than 25 years exposed to
high power transmitters from 550khz to 18ghz, and so far, so good.
Interestingly I can not recall a single person who got leukemia, from the
probably couple hundred or more people, I either worked with or knew from
the business throughout the years. These are people who spent most of their
working time around high RF fields. I am sure there nust have been some,
because just the average population percentages would dictate that. But as
for there being an unusually high pertcentage in that group, I would have
to disagree, because I certainly haven't seen it among those I know. Or
maybe we all were just smart enough not to stare into the open end of a hot
waveguide.
One more point, any well designed broadcast or commercial transmitter
installation is going to include some type of output filtering in the
transmission line, or at least some form of interference reduction device.
whether it be a filter,isolator or whatever. It is just good engineering
practice. Now you situation, may call for some other additional measures,but
it is always good practice to be a clean as you can to start with.

The point is, "IT IS NO ENCOUNTERING SERIOUS TVI", the point is they get
TVI no matter how minimal, it is there and just bothers the neighbors.
The point is, they may not know how to contact the FCC to complain.
If a good low pass filter is needed, take another look at your antennas
and feed line. If there is a problem, the low pass filter is not
effective and you will not get the results your going to expect. Once
that is accomplished the low pass filter may help. A well designed radio
like Ten-Tec has this type of design and I feel it is not necessary to
have another one. Most radio equipment has this type of filtering theses
days.
Leukemia is linked to long term exposer to RF fields, High percentage of
Radio engineers has it and/or died from it.
Filter on a TV? Does that work? Not for me. Been there tried that.
Google my QTH look at the residential area. It is just like havening a TV
in your own home. Common mode currents, Jim Brown is on the money. Is it
worth the effort to do what manufacturers did not do? You start offering
your services is like stirring up a hornets nest. Best is to take care
of your station and get it best you can then go to the neighbors if your
confident and capable to do it. I am not capable and confident enough to
go to the neighbors nor am I foolish enough to do it. I am a chicken.
Screen room? Too much for my pocket book. Especially all those filters
that are need for every wire in and out of it. Screen room defeats the
purpose if you put a transmitter inside and an antenna outside. Doesn't
it?
