Well said Tom. 

Anybody know of any health problems among people who
work at AM Broadcast stations which run from 1KW to
50KW,  CONTINUOUSLY, day in and day out?

I don't.

Most AM station studios are within falling distance (<1/4 WL)
of their towers.

How about the REALLY   BIG  transmitters in Europe and Russia?

And we are getting all stirred up about relatively low power and
very LOW duty cycle amateur transmissions?  Give me a break!
