Yo Bruce, the link will now work here You have to cut and paste... won't accept direct links I guess... Besides... this one may well have been an April idiots joke, though dated april 7. But, it's just another example of mis-information that idiots can get ahold of and use to try and further their lost cause.  |

Yup, that is the infamous April Fools joke that circulated last April and stirred up quite a few people. It can still be found archived in many places. The full text is here: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.radio.amateur.homebrew/browse_thread/thread/67214346154f09ab?pli=1These "fear announcements" are annoying and attract a few maniacs, but other than raising blood pressure they fail in the end. Of course, there was that town that banned di-hydrogen monoxide for a period of time due to all the statistical evidence of its extreme danger... |

The Stanford study showed that frequencies around 3.5, 7, and 14 Megahertz were the most harmful,... They do have a point though. Letting your children listen to 3872Khz will definatly lower their IQs. |

Its realy dangerous stuff... You can make Explosives out of it with the commanly available Lead battery. Lead is a well known teratogen, and is a buy-product of nuklear reactions.

When you think about it, di-hydrogen monoxide has killed quite a few people and made a few terrorists confess!!!  |

I hear a lot of AM on 3872. The Stanford study showed that frequencies around 3.5, 7, and 14 Megahertz were the most harmful,... They do have a point though. Letting your children listen to 3872Khz will definatly lower their IQs. |

Now if he would just switch to upper sideband... Last week I heard a few guys talking about someone playing music or something on there; I assume that was the jammer. Probably another ham with a substance abuse problem. Shouldn't be too hard to DF. |

The RF scare is more widespread than just the ELF and ALF terrorists. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-lazarus9-2009sep09,0,7825195.columnAnd the dumb journalist makes this statement at the end. "It's a compelling argument. And so far, no one can say with certainty that he's wrong." I think somewhere in the universe there is a planet exactly like Earth with exactly the same people living on it as here on earth. There are even people there posting to an AM Forum Web Site. No on can say with certainty that I'm wrong. LOL. |

That would not only be likely, but a certainty, if there were an infinite number of planets in the universe. Not only that, but there would be another planet somewhere, exactly identical to this one except that at the moment no-one would be posting any messages on the AM Forum Web Site. And yet another one with messages on the site but they would all be different from the messages posted on this one. And still another one identical to earth in every minute detail including having amateur radio, but it would never have occurred to anyone to create a Citizens Band. But now, the thinking seems to be more towards a closed system somehow folded in on itself, that is not infinitely large, so chances are extremely remote that there would be any such planets. |

You can't prove I'm wrong, therefore I'm right. Ban all cell phones, and amateur radio transmitters too.  |

If you're philosophically bent, there is a physics theory (M-Theory) that there are multiple universes parallel to ours, and coexisting just a single dimension away but totally isolated (well not quiet, gravity is supposed to be able to traverse the gap - do you think we could Modulate a singularity?) So on a purely theoretical basis, there could be a great many "yous" all slightly different based on decisions made in those alternate universes. "You" might even be dead in one of those other universes, or not even have ever been born. Humans might not exist or be so radically different as to be unrecognizable. All things in probability combinations, although I think the limit on the number of universes was either 11 or 26 depending on certain attributes of the observer. On a more earth-bound practical note, Google your own name and see how many people are YOU. I was surprised at how many of me there are, unfortunately none of us appear to be rich  . |

There is probably a bigger dose of RF going into the brains of all the young woman walking around with cell phones attached to their heads.

Too many ignorant moonbats in this world.
First off - RF is non-ionizing radiation.
The rest is Luddite ignorance masquerading as concern.
