[Amps] RF exposure limits in reality

[RICHARD GEORGE]

Buy the ARRL book on RF exposure. It is being used as an industry standard. Unless yor running a Kw for more then 7 minutes at a time at the distance you describe you are OK. It is not accumalative.

  Does anyone have any information as to "real life" exposure limits for
  adults, children and newborns at various frequencies?  I've seen the
  generic exposure limit ratings that the FCC publishes for dipoles but was
  wondering if there were some figures that clearly state the minimum safe
  distance for various frequencies and power levels.

  If http://www.qsl.net/southsidearc/rfx.html#hfhorizontal is accurate then
  I'll go by that then.


  I'm expecting a baby soon and my dipoles are hanging from a push up mast
  which is mounted to the same side of the house as the bedrooms.  I run CW
  and am curious how I need to alter my operating practice.


  Thanks,
  Jason
