[TowerTalk] RF Voltage at AM Tower Base

[Patrick Barthelow]

Thanks Don,
 
Lest anyone doubt, KGO was in full compliance with the regs...Their towers have several layers of access control; Locked fences,  monitoring and supervision. Actually quite high security precautions were in place.   We were touring under the close supervision of their engineering staff--Pat, AA6EG
> Regarding the first part of your question, a fence must be maintained > around the base of a series-fed AM radio tower to prevent a shock hazard to the public  per FCC Rule 47 C.F.R. 73.49. When tower maintenance is required, the station(s) involved  are required to lower their power to a safe RFR (radiofrequency radiation)level   per 47 C.F.R. 1.1310. You don't have to feel the burn to be in danger!> 73,> Don> KW7R
