Decades ago I did a job for Raytheon (S/W for an X-ray machine control.) The Raytheon guy that hired us talked about standing in front of one of those huge radar horns to warm up as a young serviceman. I didn't RTFA but I wonder if the history went back that far.

I read many similar instances when I was doing the historical research into this. It's true of any high power radio system.

They did some truly horrendous studies on rabbits.

Not at all. If you stand near a large higher power antenna below 2.0 MHz or so you can't measure any heating at all.

Fair enough, I haven't had much sub-VHF experience. Thank you.
