Vern, if you think that this has no bearing or effect on 
contesting, then you're in for a rude awakening. The government 
in your country has the power to limit your RF output. If you 
live on a normal city lot and have antennas of average height ( 
60 plus feet) then it is likely that you will be in violation of 
recommended RF field strength limits at a KW level. Unless you 
want to continue contesting from Canada with 50 or 100 w ( not 
much fun in DX contests) then you better become more acquainted 
with the ill fated EMCAB-2 and the current RAC-IC discussions.

"Silly things government bureacrats do" includes reducing my 
power output to 100 W at this location. I have neither the means 
nor the time to put together a multi-tower multi xmtr station out 
of town somewhere or in the caribbean. I consider myself an avid 
contester ( Winner SS LP Phone 92 & 95) but if amateurs such as 
myself are affected by these potential influences, then there 
will be no one left to work. Burying our heads in the sand and 
hoping it goes away is not the answer. The discussion is real, 
pertinent and important.

Contact RAC counsel Time Ellam VE6SH and he'll give you the real 
story of how close we are to this tragic situation. The only way 
we can prevent this from affecting our hobby is to be proactive, 
assertive and educated. I thank those who have taken the time to 
post.

Finally, if you don't like the discussion, simply use the delete 
key or screen your mail messages.

Does it work on fire ant bites?
