EMF calculator

For those in the UK worried about the new pending Ofcom ICNIRP EMF rules.

I have found an excellent EMF calculator program from the late VK3UM, infact I would say it is the best I have come across yet.

Well worth a download and a play with:

EMR calc V7.12 runs in Windows and is very easy to get up and running, allowing a variation of  most parameters you can think of.

It comes with a preset load of settings, including Freq, PWR, TX loss. Transmission type (CW, SSB, FSK etc). Antenna type Dipole, Vertical even a G5RV! 

Or you can customise it more or less to your own settings.

I have also been informed this will run ok under Linux using Wine.

Good luck!
