TJSB Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 For those who use radios, the new Ofcom proposals are worth a read as they will affect your radio licence. You should note the consultation period has expired. If you type in Ofcom EMF you should find it. It is about separation from the base of the antenna to people to keep them safe from EMF For a 25W marine VHF radio it is 2.04m using the Ofcom calculator. For a small boat, or military vehicles this separation will be difficult to achieve. If this is going to cause a problem, you can make a representation to Ofcom. This will be particularly relevant for marine VHF and heavy haulage escorts and taxi drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Note however that the ICNIRP limits are time averaged, so it's not as big a problem as you might think. Andy (M0IJH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
