Well if the station is Class A, 3,000 watts, then the field strength at
the antenna is 387.3 V/m and 0.43 V/m at your window for a power density
of 0.32 mW/cm^2. If the station is a Class B maxiumum power regional station,
100,000 watts, then the field strength at the antenna is 2236 V/m and
2.4 V/m at your window for a power density of 5.38 mW/cm^2. Note
that both cases assume your window is centered in the main lobe of
the antenna which isn't true unless your window is level with the top
of the antenna. So your exposure is less. Field densities decline with
the inverse square of distance, so tend to fall rapidly in the near
vicinity of the antenna.
The OSHA occupational exposure standard is 10 mW/cm^2, so even the worst
case is only half the limit. The new ANSI limit is 1 mW/cm^2 for long term
exposures, so the Class B case puts you above that limit. However, the
radio regulations don't allow spaces regularly occupied by the public to
exceed 1 mW/cm^2, so the station certainly is not a Class B. Such stations
would normally use a 1000 foot tower that would put the field strength at
ground level well inside the most stringent safety standards.
So you shouldn't have any concern that you're being exposed to dangerous
levels of RF radiation. Note that at this frequency the concern would be
for RF heating of tissue, particularly the eyes. The concerns about magnetic
fields at very low levels is in another frequency range altogether, the VLF
region centered near power line frequencies of 50-60 Hz. The exposure you
are getting to those fields is stronger from the power wiring in the walls
of your room than from the radio station.
Safe levels for protection from RF heating effects are well documented,
you can feel sure you're quite safe at power densities of 1 mW/cm^2 or
less. The possible risks associated with low level magnetic fields at VLF
power line frequencies are much less well documented. Depending on the study,
there may, or may not, be a correlation between magnetic field strength at
these frequencies and certain diseases. No laboratory work has pointed to a
mechanism to claim a cause and effect relationship. So the power wiring in
your room *may* be a risk, albeit a tiny one. Research continues.

Right. I don't know why people are still arguing about this - I have
no qualms in saying "Morse is an international language", although I
know that strictly it's not a language - but do we really have to care?
Much sloppier writing goes on around us every day (not just on r.r.a.m.,
but it's hardly exempt).
Morsum Magnificat (Aug 93) mentions a Brit newspaper (1943) as reporting
that a "dotty American" (tautology?) has his name tattooed on his legs
in more than 100 languages, including..... Morse code. That's certainly
not an authoritative source, but we all know what it means.
So - for those who care about all this, is sign language a language?
I doubt it, but nobody's about to change the name.

Subject : Re: 6 Meter Transceiver Advice ? ? ?
I prefer transverters for all round operation, and prefer multiomde/SSB. A
new reasonably priced unit that is new on the market is from: Down East
Microwave (see QST for their ad). I believe the transverter runs about $300
and looks nicely constructed, although not super pretty. Good luck either way
P.S. My packet BBS address is AK2F@KA2UGQ if you want to reply that way. 73.

I looked at a shareware version of Hyperlog several years ago. The
"Feel" (user interface) was quit nice but the program was EXTREMELY
buggy, especially in tracking states/countries worked, etc. Also, it
(obviously) didn't support SAM or other such databases (since they
didn't exist then.
What you are describing sounds MUCH better. Is there a recent
shareware/demo version available (prferably FTP) that I could use
to evaluate? If so, where???
BTW, I bought TOTAL HAM at the Va Beach Convention and I am EXTREMELY
displeased - it is written in Clipper and OH SOOOO SLOW and the DB
format logs are real Disk space HOGS. Also, it cost $50 (Show Special!)
and quite frankly, I feel burned...
