Sadly I can't make the same statement. I know all too many broadcast
engineers now dead, who died of cancer, and only know of one who died of
liver failure. I wouldn't guarantee that RF killed any of them, but it
sure worries me about how much time I spent in high rf fields, and I
sure don't want to spend a lot of time in one either. I'm reminded of
the diathermy machines which warm up tissue too, and they ran at about
26.5 MHz or so with a whole lot less than 10Kw or more.
