Changes to VHF licence

And the tolerance on transmit power?

Indeed, each number in the calculation will have a tolerance, so the end result will have a tolerance ...

My office recived an e mail from OFCOM in similar gibberish which seemed to be about the same thing (I think - hard to tell) - but refferring to our office telephone system. So seems to be a wider issues must be involved. I saw it was only a consultation so filed it in the 'delete' folder

I am just trying to work out the figure for a president Lincoln on a mag mounted quarter wave on the roof of a mini with a 100 watts of RF amplification by Zetagi. It used to trigger the police station alarm. What figure do you reckon. ?

I've never heard of anyone being injured by radiation from a radome or a radio.

Are you sure? Perhaps you could share with the forum the symptoms of exposure to non-ionising radiation?

I'm sure the forum is aware of the symptoms. Probably similar to the symptoms of using a mobile phone.

The son of a work colleague and a very regular mobile phone user developed a brain tumour which was fatal.
The medics blamed the phone use . It was around late 1990s .

The difference is I don't think leisure boaters use marine vhf radio on tx all day long and you don't have the antenna held just above your ear. The exposure time is minimal.

RF exposure is why I only use my phone on speaker. I also knew a person that developed a tumour in his groin where he kept a mobile in his pocket. Admittedly it was the older type which put out more RF, but minimising exposure can’t do any harm.

In a previous career we were very careful to ensure we didn’t tx with HF or turn the radar on when we were parked on stand with ground crew nearby.

They are rather more real and serious than than that.
