ARRL Products: Antennas, Transmission Lines & Propagation (More) Simple and Fun Antennas for Hams -- Lots and lots of real world, practical antennas you can BUILD YOURSELF! The ARRL Antenna Book -- The ultimate reference for Amateur Radio antennas, transmission lines and propagation. Fully-searchable CD-ROM included. 21st edition. Antenna Compendium Volume 7 -- The seventh volume in ARRL's Antenna Compendium series includes even more proven, practical antenna designs from the world of Amateur Radio. Low Profile Amateur Radio -- Second edition. Now you can operate a ham radio station from almost anywhere! All the information you need to operate under restrictive situations and more. The New Shortwave Propagation Handbook -- This may well be the only book you'll need on the subject of ionospheric propagation for the next ten years or more!

Our goal is to help all hams maintain the balance between operating safely and the misunderstandings about RF safety that are currently making the rounds in our society.

The RF Safety Committee is made up of volunteer scientists, physicians, and engineers who are knowledgeable about interactions between electromagnetic energy and biological tissue. Many of the committee's members participate in RF bioeffects activities outside of Amateur Radio. Responsibilities include writing and maintaining the RF Safety related text that appears in ARRL publications, such as the Handbook, the Antenna Book, License Manuals, and RF Safety and You and reviewing RF Safety related questions in the Amateur Radio question pools. The RF Safety committee has aided the FCC in the process of editing the recently enacted Environmental Exposure regulations. Members of the committee monitor the scientific and popular press for new developments related to electromagnetic bioeffects. The committee advises the ARRL Board of Directors about all RF safety issues.
