From one of the club reflectors in our division. -Bill -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CCAFMA] ban ham radio From: Andrew O'Brien <k3ukandy@gmail.com> To: NCARC <ncarclub@yahoogroups.com>,CCAFMA Reflector <ccafma@yahoogroups.com> CC: Interesting email from the Earth Liberation Front Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 1:16 pm What characteristic is shared by an electric blanket, a power line, and a broadcast tower? All three emit electromagnetic radiation. These invisible electromagnetic fields are known as EMFs. They are generated by currents running through electric wires. Since they are not powerful and destructive like nuclear or X-ray radiation, they were once thought to be harmless. However, studies have suggested that people exposed to them chronically run a higher risk of certain health problems, including miscarriages, learning disabilities, and cancer. Did you know that Ham Radio Operators run 1500 watts of power in your neighborhood exposing your family to dangerous radiation? Is there a ham radio operator in your neighborhood? You can find out easily by a large antenna in your neighbor yards and doing a search for hams by zip code at http://www.qrz.com/db/ The reason you need to search for hams in your neighborhood is because they can run their 1500 watt transmitters with a small wire dipole and vertical antennas hidden in trees and flag poles. Unlike CB radio operators who are limited to a very low 4 watt transmitters in your neighborhood hams can do more damage to your children with there 1500 watt transmitters. How much power does your local AM radio station run? On average they only run 1000 watts, but the transmitting antennas are usually in remote unpopulated areas. Ham radio operators run there high powered transmitters right in your neighborhood. How to put a stop to ham radio operators from polluting your neighborhood: 1. Write your congressman about protecting your children from harmful EMF. 2. Demand that the FCC certify every ham radio operator in your area comply with RF exposure regulations by writing the FCC. http://www.fcc.gov/eb/AmaCmpl.html 3. Contact your local city council and mayor to lobby to change Federal law regarding using high powered transmitters in your neighborhood. 4. If you live in a neighborhood with a covenant then contact the HOA and demand that it be changed to exclude licensed ham radio operators from living in the neighborhood, it is not enough to ban large antennas since the ham radio operator will put up a small wire antenna or an antenna in their attic to transmit up to 1500 watts of power. 5. If you find out a ham is in your neighborhood let your neighbors know so they can contact your city council and congress representative to change the law to mandate a lower power usage of ham radio around your family. 6. Ham radio operators lower your property values with there large antennas and the increasing knowledge that high power transmitters effect every family in the neighborhood with harmful EMF radiation. http://earth-liberation-front.org/ __._,_.___ Reply via web post Reply to sender Reply to group Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group  Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest • Unsubscribe • Terms of Use • Send us Feedback .  __,_._,___ <!-- #ygrp-mkp { border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-family: Arial; margin: 10px 0; padding: 0 10px; } #ygrp-mkp hr { border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; } #ygrp-mkp #hd { color: #628c2a; font-size: 85%; font-weight: 700; line-height: 122%; margin: 10px 0; } #ygrp-mkp #ads { margin-bottom: 10px; } #ygrp-mkp .ad { padding: 0 0; } #ygrp-mkp .ad p { margin: 0; } #ygrp-mkp .ad a { color: #0000ff; text-decoration: none; } #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc { font-family: Arial; } #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc #hd { margin: 10px 0px; font-weight: 700; font-size: 78%; line-height: 122%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ygrp-lc .ad { margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0 0; } #actions { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; padding: 10px 0; } #activity { background-color: #e0ecee; float: left; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; padding: 10px; } #activity span { font-weight: 700; } #activity span:first-child { text-transform: uppercase; } #activity span a { color: #5085b6; text-decoration: none; } #activity span span { color: #ff7900; } #activity span .underline { text-decoration: underline; } .attach { clear: both; display: table; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; padding: 10px 0; width: 400px; } .attach div a { text-decoration: none; } .attach img { border: none; padding-right: 5px; } .attach label { display: block; margin-bottom: 5px; } .attach label a { text-decoration: none; } blockquote { margin: 0 0 0 4px; } .bold { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 700; } .bold a { text-decoration: none; } dd.last p a { font-family: Verdana; font-weight: 700; } dd.last p span { margin-right: 10px; font-family: Verdana; font-weight: 700; } dd.last p span.yshortcuts { margin-right: 0; } div.attach-table div div a { text-decoration: none; } div.attach-table { width: 400px; } div.file-title a, div.file-title a:active, div.file-title a:hover, div.file-title a:visited { text-decoration: none; } div.photo-title a, div.photo-title a:active, div.photo-title a:hover, div.photo-title a:visited { text-decoration: none; } div#ygrp-mlmsg #ygrp-msg p a span.yshortcuts { font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; } .green { color: #628c2a; } .MsoNormal { margin: 0 0 0 0; } o { font-size: 0; } #photos div { float: left; width: 72px; } #photos div div { border: 1px solid #666666; height: 62px; overflow: hidden; width: 62px; } #photos div label { color: #666666; font-size: 10px; overflow: hidden; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap; width: 64px; } #reco-category { font-size: 77%; } #reco-desc { font-size: 77%; } .replbq { margin: 4px; } #ygrp-actbar div a:first-child { /* border-right: 0px solid #000;*/ margin-right: 2px; padding-right: 5px; } #ygrp-mlmsg { font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial, helvetica,clean, sans-serif; *font-size: small; *font: x-small; } #ygrp-mlmsg table { font-size: inherit; font: 100%; } #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea { font: 99% Arial, Helvetica, clean, sans-serif; } #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code { font:115% monospace; *font-size:100%; } #ygrp-mlmsg * { line-height: 1.22em; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo { padding-bottom: 10px; } #ygrp-msg p a { font-family: Verdana; } #ygrp-msg p#attach-count span { color: #1E66AE; font-weight: 700; } #ygrp-reco #reco-head { color: #ff7900; font-weight: 700; } #ygrp-reco { margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a { font-size: 130%; text-decoration: none; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li { font-size: 77%; list-style-type: square; padding: 6px 0; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 8px; } #ygrp-text { font-family: Georgia; } #ygrp-text p { margin: 0 0 1em 0; } #ygrp-text tt { font-size: 120%; } #ygrp-vital ul li:last-child { border-right: none !important; } -->
