It's critical and fascinating. I always wondered if anyone ever charted correlation between cancer rates vs. RF field intensity. Of course, if there was a correlation, frequencies would probably be significant. (And correlation doesn't imply causality!) But, somehow, it would seem possible to quantify RF/freq and cancer occurrence. I, too, have read the "scare" stuff for years, I've never come across anything definitive --- obviously. I remember this only anecdotally, but if my memoray [sic] serves me well, back around 1975, the FCC prohibited 900 MHz handhelds for health reasons. Of course, 900+ MHz handhelds were no industry (not even a lifestyle) then :)) Closing it down now would sure take a few points from the DOW. Your mention of dead RF guys --- wonder what the average age of death is for kilowatt hams vs. average population...?
