Anyone heard about this? I keep wondering if it would be better (b/c it dampens radio signals) or worse (b/c it does so using powerful magnetic fields, probably from the earth) for an EHSer. Ideas, anyone?
http://www.strangemag.com/zoneofsilence.html"...we need not travel so far to encounter a part of the world that
is even more perplexing than these others, although it remains little known to
most people: Mexico's mysterious, magical zona del silencio--the Zone of Silence,
just four hundred miles away from El Paso, Texas. Deserts are often considered
to be mysterious enough without the added weirdness that this patch of earth some
four hundred miles from El Paso has to offer. It is a place which gobbles up
radio and TV signals, and which has of late been associated with the UFO
phenomenon.
...Pena and his group became aware of the "silence" when they found that itwas impossible to communicate with one another via walkie-talkies: radio waves
are not transmitted at the accustomed speed and frequency. Portable radios would emit but the lightest whisper when turned on at full volume. To this day,
television signals cannot be received in Ceballos or in the neighboring ranches.
Some magnetic force, with the power to dampen radio waves, seems to exist in the
region."
