I am sending this to the list because I know how typical it is of the
quandary many people face when they first encounter this EMF issue. I
hope that many of you will respond direct to Laurel. (Our list is most
efficient when you communicate directly -- with copy to guru -- rather
than when you respond just to guru for retransmission.)
Laurel -- perhaps the answers don't all come at once. It does take
some time and repeated 'exposure' to make sense of some of it. Also,
don't be hesitant about obtaining professional help. Just be sure
that whomever you obtain ... is QUALIFIED and INDEPENDENT (not under
the influence of the company with a vested interest) and is doing
his job with YOUR interest in mind -- not the power company's or
the local government (that so often is BEHOLDEN to the power company).
In some states, the power companies even control the commissions that
are supposed to be regulating them!!!
As to the Bill Curry questions -- I'll leave those for Bill, himself,
to answer. He is VERY busy, I know. But you can certainly rely on
his qualifications and objectivity......We have other qualified people,
too, who should reply to you......One answer here -- the gauss meter
is NOT the right instrument for microwaves......
This situation is but another good example of how BADLY our democratic
governmental system (that serves THE PEOPLE??!!) is FAILING in its most
fundamental purpose......!!!......guru.....

Dear Roy,
Could you ask Mr. Curry questions for me, or am I free to write to him about
his comments? I have been generally replying directly to people's e-mail
addresses...I suddenly thought that I might want to ask you if you have any
rules you have in mind?
I was very interested in a lot of the recent mail that has been on the
mailing list.
I would like to ask Mr. Curry how to take a radiation density reading? I do
not know what device is needed, nor whether you must hire someone to take it
to have any credibility. I have found that our Electrical utilities give
gauss meters to people to take readings if requested, but would not give us
one, because they could "see no need to do so". So when I purchased a gauss
meter, and took readings myself the credibility of the reading had doubts
cast upon it, because the meter itself did not belong to the utility, and so
had it's measurements in doubt in some self-serving way.
Are the pulse magnitudes peak readings on an oscilloscope at the peak of of
the wave form? Does an oscilloscope just plug in to the electrical system to
turn on?
Does it read RF and Microwaves/microwatts? Radio Shack has just seemingly
refused to sell me a small oscilliscope that I tried to purchase from them
early in December, first they refused to ship it overnight, then it did not
come in to the store 5 to 7 days later as promised originally, then they put
it on "backorder", then they decided that they no longer carried the item-too
bad for me, sorry. I assume it is the device most useful for our situation...
I think you must have another meter for microwaves?
I have recently had a red, hives-like rash develop on my leg, possibly from
wave forms, or possibly from food poisoning, and I was interested in why this
man would have red legs from Cellular radiation poisoning. Does
electro-radiation sensitivity have particular aspects that are documented?
My husband seems to be unable to even discern some of the radiation effects
that I find affect his heartbeat, except that he gets hot, and starts to
sweat, and his heart is beating faster. I can feel the waves hitting my
hand, for example. Is that a sensitivity symptom, or do you or does Mr.
Curry also know whether the average person feels the pulsed wave form in the
air? I am uncertain whether I can relate to others that they would feel a
wave form in the air or whether it takes a electrosensitivity to it to feel
it on your skin for example. For example when the residents say the
radiation is "light" at 25 microwatts, how do they "know" that? Because they
do not have the same pain? Because they do not feel a pulsed waveform in the
air, or vibrating their home's walls? Does electron beam welding work in a
similar fashion to RF welding, or to laser beams?
I was appreciating this also, from Mr. Curry's letter "I think
the time has come and is long overdue to separate the promotional and
regulatory activities of the FCC."
This was a reply I just received from the FCC (And believe me, I am happy
that they did reply instead of leaving no response as my answer) regarding my
worries about a Time-Warner change to our neighbor's cable lines which
increased the fields being thrown across and under our bed one particular
evening. I find it frightening, actually, that the FCC is making deals every
single day with the cable companies, and this is their reply regarding cable
company dangers.
"Chairman William E. Kennard has requested that I respond to your inquiry. I
appreciate the opportunity to do so.
Unfortunately, the FCC cannot assist you in this matter. The FCC's RF rules
generally apply to entities licensed by the FCC. Since cable companies are
not licensed by the FCC, the rules do not apply. For additional information,
please visit www.fcc.gov/oet/rf/safety. "
Well, I have asked you quite a few questions...Thank you for any answers that
you or Mr. Curry might have.
Best Wishes,
Laurel at rbldjrseth@aol.com
