| subject: | RF Exposure |
When I read about the FCC wanting comments on RF Exposure, I thought about it a bit and the thought came to me that RF Oscillators are in lots and lots of electronic things. Sure they are low power but they can radiate "measurable" RF. When I was a child I use to sit near the large radio listening to shows every night. Some times I would be by myself and turn the dial from station to station just to watch the Green Eye Tube blink. That's a lot of RF Exposure! and I was just a little kid. I forget now what it was that I learned had a crystal oscillator frequency in the 20 meter band, but after I learned about it I tuned my RCVR to that frequency and heard some noise. Also I rmemeber when I had a all mode 2 meter rig I heard interference in the lower part of the band from the cable TV wire that runs along side my QTH. I don't have a cable service, but I could hear their RF Leak. Oh Yes, Computers have crystal oscillators too! IIRC the Commodore 64 oscillators frequency is 1 Mc/s. Yes I AM A BIG LID. . . . . . . _ . _ ...
