EMR safety complience for vertical antennas
#5
Sorry Guys, I hid my real question behind some other stuff.

I agree about what has been said about ground mounted verticals. Doug, I should not have metal mesh. We have plastic mesh at VK4KG and it works well. All EMR measurements have been done and exclusion zones calculated but this "no touch rule" appears to extend beyond just the exclusion zones.

My intention is to to pole mount the vertical and use elevated radials as per the manufacturer's suggestion to improve efficiency on the higher bands, not to comply with EMR.

The important question is: Given the ACMA inspectors rule that no wire antenna can be at a touchable height , will my elevated wire radials have to comply with that rule?

I have not received a visit from the RI's, but those who have found them to be very supportive of AR (one of them was a ham) and trying to make EMR compliance as simple and practical as possible. Big Grin
