Subject: Re EMF-L Measurement Protocols Date: Thu, 24 Jul 1997 103317 -0500 (CDT) From: "Vali Yousefi" <Vali@ncoh.pwv.gov.za> To: Multiple recipients of list <emf-l@mail.llion.org> -------------------------------------------------- Dear Karl Thank you very much for the fax regarding the new publication announcement, which I received sometimes around three to four in the morning at home. Please make note of my work number as +02711 720 6608 and kindly use this when it is very late. I asked our librarian to order the book. Please save one for us. It may take a bit longer than usual to get our order, because of the bureaucracy, etc. I would like to get some research training in this field. Do you know any recognized institute? I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
