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.
