I wonder if we’ll see some ready made samples for common scenarios. How many of us use Inverted V on HF for example?
It seems the problem at portable QRP power levels is the near field, not the far field. Safety distances on the spread sheet come out quite small, but the Near Field Zone is larger. Do we just say we’ll use the Near Field Zone and not do further calculation? So I think it was for 14MHz 5W into a dipole we just make sure no general public within 4m when we transmit? Even though the far field safe distance was about 30cm?
I note that people can walk around with handies at 5W. They are used commercially. These things are next to the user’s head but are accepted. So I’ve assumed my SOTA setups safe as long as the elements were above head height. Though was there an exemption for less than 10W EIRP? So my MTR3B may be inherently safe, but if I take the KX3 or something bigger that can produce more power I need to do the maths?
