Is there enough power up there to do damage being on top for 5 or ten minutes? |

I have been between a pair of FM broadcast transmitter arrays when both were turned to less than 10% RF out... and could still draw arcs off of the tower with the wrenches I was using to adjust the microwave dish I was working on... I am imagining one could keep warm up there on a cold day just from the tissue heating... well away from the antennas! Hope Engineering was notified and reduced power or shut the transmitters off just in case... Eric KB7DQH |
