Hello John -

I agree that this needs dissemination, Ed Hare will be posting this

to the RF-Safety webpage on ARRL.ORG. I would have liked to send this

via the "Email your Division" but alas - this is a PDF file, and the document

has jpg files of tables and graphs..... the "Email your Division" email system

only does ASCII ( and it is rumored to be at less than 300 baud).

There has been a delay getting this posted to the Central Division

website, when it is posted either there or on the ARRL.ORG site, I will post

the link to the Central Division membership. In the meantime, I did send it

to the Assistant Directors of the Division for distribution to their local clubs.

ALSO - we should remind people that this FAQ will change and to look for

updates...

73, Kermit Carlson W9XA

ARRL Central Division Director

All

    Kermit, good work.

    This FAQ needs to be provided to all Members. A special ARRL newsletter should be prepared and sent to the Membership that addresses this issue; it should either include this FAQ in its entirety and/or contain a link to an URL where the PDF can be read and downloaded.

    All the Directors need a version of this FAQ as a PDF (preferably, fancied up) that can be provided to our SMs and Club Coordinators for distribution to the Section websites and for dissemination to Clubs for inclusion in their newsletters and/or on their websites.

    This topic is hot amongst the Members and the lack of understanding and the rumors (mostly wrong) need to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Greetings All,

Please find attached the PDF of the RF Exposure

Frequently Asked Questions (Version 1.3). Ed Hare

and the ARRL Laboratory are the authors of this

document with technical advice from Dr. Greg Lapin, N9GL,

and the RF Safety Committee. My thanks to the Executive

Committee for their contribution to the editorial process

of this document.

This PDF version 1.3 is suitable for distribution. Any questions

or suggestion for future inclusion in the FAQ should be directed

to the ARRL Laboratory by email at tis@arrl.org. One of the ARRL

Laboratory engineers will respond to comments by email.

The responsibility for updates to this living-breathing document

will now pass the ARRL Laboratory staff under the direction of

Ed Hare, W1RFI; and the the RF Safety Committee under the

lead of Dr. Greg Lapin, N9GL. As ARRL members, we are indeed

very fortunate to have such a great assemblage of truly gifted

authorities in the field of RF Engineering.

Please be aware that updates might be very common as

details come into better focus as the discussions between the FCC

and the ARRL develop clarifications and recommendations.

Thanks again to Ed Hare, W1RFI, for the authorship of this FAQ.

73,

Kermit Carlson W9XA

ARRL EMC Committee Chair
