Shivani replies:
I am surprised to hear this said. A TV antenna is specifically
designed to pick up high frequencies using a small surface. The design, not the
amount of surface, is the crucial thing with antennae. This is why they are
shaped the way they are, and then we turn them at angles to receive the signal
to the maximum.
BTW, if while standing inside my house I take hold of our portable radio
antenna, the reception is suddenly much better. We ourselves are great
receiving antennae for radio signals.
On the other hand, if I go across the room from the radio and stand in
certain spots, the radio reception gets just horrid. These spots are not
between me and the town the radio station broadcasts from, but in another
direction altogether. Ideas?

I meant it otherwise.

TV antennas (not the dishes) are only constructed in order to receive, not
to send.
(And they receive only frequencies below 800 MHz.)

Large metal surfaces can react like secundary antennas; like they are
mirrors.
It is common said that people may have trouble with telephone transmittors,
although they do not work yet.
But they receive RF signals, and sending them out.
The amount of radiation is not much, but still enough for electrosensibles,
to hinder them.

In a lot of places, I detect from television sets and even flatpanel
monitors, that they act as secundary antennes, and transmit signals of about
30 kHz, although no cable is plugged in and the mains is out.
Satellite dishes can do have such an effect, but TV antennas not, becaus
their reflecting surface is too small.

This all can me measured.

What we can not measure are the effects of longitudinal waves involved.
We have found, that directly from the back of a satellite dish,
electrosensible persons could be hindered, although nothing could be
measured.

Everything with liquid in it, like our body and plants, do *inhale* RF
radiation.
With my HF Digitmeter II and the Esmog Spion, I have a 15 mm antenna, which
functions as a contact antenna.
If I place it against my skin, or against my tongue, mone can hear FR
radiation.
If I stick the antenna in an ornage, or apple or tomato or bana, one hears
RF radiation.

I often demonstrate that effect by using a small glass of water. I tell the
people that this quantity averages the amount of blodd in their head.
Than I make contact with the antenna in the water. People can hear then how
much RF radiation the blood in their head has to handle permanently.
Also, when I hold the glass in several spots, people can hear where hotspots
are.

Yes, our body is one big antenna.

According to our protocolls, body tension should be measured when the person
lies on the bed and is NOT grounded.
The meter is placed one side with a ground, and the other side has a
handelectrode, which the person holds.
Ideal is 30 mV, but most persons have between 300 and 800 mV.
(With electrical blankets and waterbeds, it is much higher)
