[Amps] Mobile high power

[Peter Chadwick]

How do you keep within the ICNIRP limits with high power? They suggest a maximum field strength at HF where a piece of ungrounded metal could be touched of 30volts/metre maximum. 60 volts/meter maximum if there's no ungrounded metal around. I suspect even a 100 watt mobile exceeds that in the near field at HF. The physiological effects worked on the basis of the 6 minute integration period probably aren't an issue, especially with the duty cycle of SSB or CW, but the induced voltage from the antenna near field giving the capability of RF burns to someone touching a bit of metal is another matter.
