can i get sick from R.F.?
i have a ham radio that will put out just under 1500 watts(radio + amp). My antenna is about 60 feet directly above where my base radio is(the antenna is on a mast on top the house.) all my coax is new and good quality RG-8 and the connections are good and tight. I have heard of people getting r.f. burns and such. is it possible bieng this close i could get sick or injured?
An RF burn occurs when you touch a conductor while it is carrying RF energy. It's similar to a regular burn, but the RF can penetrate the skin causing a burn that goes into the skin deeper than a regular burn would.
The RF from the antenna is not a problem. The RF is radiating from the side of an omnidirectional antenna or the end of a directional antenna. In either case, very, very little goes up or down. When you are sitting under the antenna you are sitting in a null of the RF field. This null is typically 30 dB down, or only 1/1000 of what is being transmitted. For 1500 watts, you might be in an RF field of 1.5 watts. This is typically less than the exposure when you use your cell phone.
