While I can agree with regard to speed limits and guns, I must disagree
when it comes to hams and rf.  Every time I see some newbie wanting to
get on hf and stringing his dipole across the ceiling in the house
because he "can't" put up outside antennas, I am just that much more
disappointed in where our hobby has gone.  Many of these people are
putting their ceiling dipoles right under someone else's floor, possibly
within inches of someone's children.  Even if not, he is obviously
disregarding the welfare of his own family and himself.

By the way, there is far more evidence that says rf damages human
tissue, than there is that says it doesn't.

Fire away!  Asbestos in place.  However, I won't argue with you, just
stating an opinion.  You have a right to yours, as I do mine.
