I have wondered about the safely of the tourists who stay
in the hotels in Waikiki out here;  several of these have
Honolulu TV station antennas directly atop the guest hotel
rooms!!  And the wavelength of those signals is much
closer to the "length"  of many people than are our HF
signal wavelengths!!  The closer to matching a wavelength
or whole fraction thereof,  seems to me the higher the
chance of effective energy coupling occurring!

And,  of course, they are running a lot of TV power to those
towers!  I will not list the hotel names,  but a couple are
very famous -- and no,  one of them is not the Royal Hawaiian;
their owners would never "rent" out roof space,  hi.

Of course,  maybe the TV radiation enhances the tans
the tourists seem to so desperately wish to attain.
