Radio ham told to provide RF safety reportThe FCC has directed that a Cincinnati, Ohio, radio amateur file what amounts to a mini environmental impact report with the agency. This, after a neighbor sends the regulatory agency photographs showing that the vertical antenna used by Thomas C. Love, WA0WSW, is located only a few feet from the complainant's window. The complaining party is identified as an electrical engineer. The FCC says that his submission raises questions regarding RF radiation from Love's station. In its letter to WA0WSW, the FCC directs that he furnish an RF environmental evaluation pursuant to Section 97.13(c)(1) of the Commissions rules. If the evaluation indicates that RF levels are beyond those allowable, you must describe what remedial action you are taking to mitigate the situation. Love was given the usual time from the date of the August 4th letter to respond. As far as we can determine, this is the first time a radio ham has been asked to supply an RF environmental evaluation in recent years.
