Checking over some e-mail:
It maybe of interest to the members, that in the
radio-ham magazines like "73" and "QSL" under the
heading of "Silent Keys", the names of deceased radio
hams appear. And quite a few of died of leukemia.
That is mainly in the USA and Canada. We can get power
in our transmitters that run in the kilowatts. In
Europe and other countries it is something like fifty
to one hundred watts. And there the number of leukemia
deaths is greatly reduced. Even if a cell-phone emits
one watt, it is emitted close to your brain cells.
We will see probably with the explosion of cell-phones
an increase of dementia and leukemia.
Who knows, we may get in the future a type of lawsuit
as they do now for the tobacco firms.
Hang in there, Joe Hiddink E-mail
