[Amps] radiation exposure -OT

[Walter Muth]

Hi,

you are lucky guys in the US and other parts of the world . You dont 
have  a "BEMFV" (Order on the procedure for providing proof as regards 
limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields), which is some sort of law 
we have  here in Germany and other european countries (e.g. Switzerland).

You are not allowed to operate  with  power greater than 10Watts EIRP if 
you did not send a detailed statement and drawings of antenna 
installations and of your neighbourhood (controlled area - uncontrolled 
area etc.) to the REGTP (like FCC). You should have done all 
calculations and keep it at your station. There  are software packages 
(e.g. WATT32 - for DARC Members ) for these calculations.
Unfortunately there is no english version of the so-called "BEMFV". You 
really missed something :-).
If you live in a city apartment there is no chance for normal 100watts 
or higher.
