Some of you have already seen this information from the RFSC. I had not, but the whole of these documents do illustrate relatively the difficulty of being compliant with the new RF exposure requirement. I believe that sending this out as a news item is premature – it needs context for the average amateur to understand. The reason I’m sending this to the Board is that this was emailed to several lists by the Southern Florida Section Manager this morning. You may be asked about it. It includes a yet-to-be-published QEX article that Kai Siwiak warned about redistribution… yet the SM decided to distribute it widely. Sigh.

Southeastern Division ARRL Phone (561) 320-2775 Email: n4mb@arrl.org From: Kai <k.siwiak@ieee.org<mailto:k.siwiak@ieee.org>> Date: Sun, May 30, 2021 at 7:38 AM Subject: "RSFC dispatches" regarding the new FCC rules To: Mickey Baker <fishflorida@gmail.com<mailto:fishflorida@gmail.com>> Hi Mickey, For your information, here are Greg Lapin's first three Ex Parte disclosures documenting our meetings with FCC folks regarding new RF Exposure rules. These are part of the public disclosure on the matter, but they are hard to find on the FCC web pages. I am also enclosing Ric Tell's QEX manuscript (to be published in the July/August 2021 QEX) dealing with SAR measurements. Do not distribute except with the ARRL copyright notice and permission statement intact. Everything is in a state of flux, but we are pedaling as fast as we can! The usual "roundup of suspects" from RFSC volunteers are also meeting regularly with the Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) hams to coordinate with Ofcom efforts. Kindest regards, Kazimierz "Kai" Siwiak, KE4PT Member ARRL RFSC QEX Editor
