Hi Marty, Yes to both of your questions. I did not see the specific revision that Dr. Lapin sent to Steve, but the committee was concerned about the author's methods in which his conclusions were drawn and didn't want to alarm hams. I'm in DC for work as I type and don't have access to the article, but can send it to you this weekend if you're interested. 73 Kent KA0LDG Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab®4 -------- Original message -------- From: Marty Woll <n6vi@socal.rr.com> Date:01/06/2016 9:05 PM (GMT-06:00) To: 'qtipf16' <qtipf16@q.com>, arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org Subject: RE: [arrl-odv:24954] Fwd: RFSC Report for ARRL Board Meeting Hi, Kent. With respect to Item 1.5 in the Committee’s report, did the Committee recommend any suggested edits to the author, either directly or through Steve Ford? I read the draft article and, other than being unable to make out the intensity scales in the page corners, thought it was excellent. I also compared its findings with the Robert Cleveland study (in which I participated, BTW) and did not see any major inconsistencies between the two documents. With manufacturers making higher-power two-meter transceivers these days, the article presents yet another reason to use the minimum power necessary for a contact. I hope the Committee will work with staff and the author to find a way to have this modeling study published in QST. 73, Marty N6VI From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of qtipf16 Sent: Tuesday, January 5, 2016 4:51 PM To: arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org Subject: [arrl-odv:24954] Fwd: RFSC Report for ARRL Board Meeting Greetings, Attached is the latest RF Safety Committee Report.
