I was one of those that had issues with VOA in Mason Ohio. My 89 Dodge Dakota
would have an anti-lock brake failure while driving next to the transmitter
site while they were transmitting. It was not a one off problem but
repeatable. Dodge was no help other than offering to replace the anti-lock
computer for $350.00!

Interesting. I've heard that similar phenomena (and worse) occurred
with regularity back when the VOA was running lots of power from their
transmitters near Cincinnati, and I had a car once that lit the "Rear
light out" lamp when I transmitted on 2m at high power.
