This is from Reuters. "The Vatican, in a last-ditch effort to stop Italy from cutting off electricity to its radio station over a dispute centering on electromagnetic radiation, said Monday it would
Here in Italy there is an excessive excitement about Radio Vaticana and RF exposure in these days... Someone says Radio Vaticana uses about 500kW. I think people is somewhat worried because of the bi
You say there are also toxic and radioactive wastes near the location. Are you making a joke, or is that true? In the USA, the only study linking EM radiation to Leukemia was falsified. When the stu
The 1985 World Radio TV Handbook says that they run 450 kW on 1530 kHZ .. 5 kW on 96.5 MHz FM 500 kW on shortwave frequencies The sad thing is that NPR radio says that when the antennas were built s
Hi folks, The only people I ever knew that died from exposure to RF were people who spent all their working days, up until retirement at 50kw broadcast sites. They all died of alcoholism, not of leuk
Dunno about that, Jim... An awful lot of hams have prostate cancer. It's amazing to me how often I run into a ham on a cancer support list. Either we hams are far more likely to be active on the boar
Hi: You may be on to something here, I have been maintaining a 200 kW transmitter for the last 15+ years, and it might have caused me to become sterile, I haven't had any children since I was transfe

An interesting observation, but also consider this. Last year I attended the Dayton Hamvention with a fellow who had never been to Dayton before. This fellow is a local who has been in the hobby only
The cause obviously isn't radio waves, which have been proven time and time again in controlled tests to be harmless. When researches TRY to find a link between RF Exposure and cancers, they can not
How true! It is sitting at the computer, radio and wrong nutrition. I have been in that league myself, my blood pressure went up, cholesterol skyrocketed, "my" doctor kept me on medication, vegetaria

No Tom, it's not a joke, it's true. Near Radio Vaticana antennas there are radioactive wastes for 7000 cube meters. They are coming from ENEA (which is National Agency for Alternative Energy), and fo
Could the real culprit be all those hours spent sitting in front of the rig eating Twinkies while tuning the bands. I know I tend to survive on junk food during the typical contest as it is fast an e
Get off your butts and play with antennas and inspect the top of your tower every day. Replace that with kielbasa, cheese, nuts and club soda with lemon, you will last much longer, more alert and you

Probably a political thing. Its much easier (and cheaper) to pull the plug on the Pope's 500 KW MW transmitter and make all the suckers (err, I mean constituents) think you have solved the problem th
