"I might worry about the biohazard effects of microwave radiation if I were 
standing right in front of a parabolic dish, but not signals at that level, 
any more than I am concerned about the dangers of "EMR" from my 75m dipole 
or my 160m vertical. This paranoia over non-ionising radiation is way 
overblown."

Depends on the wavelength and affect.  2.54 GHz for ovens was chosen for a 
reason.

Many years ago when I worked for Mobilecom we had an instance of a homeless 
person getting killed because he noticed how warm it was in the path of one 
of the horns one winter evening.  He smelled like roast turkey.
