Hi Ya'll,

So, WE never heard of these?

It's a jungle in the air: IDF, pirates battle for crowded airwaves

By Ofri Ilani

Late in the evening, anyone sitting on a bench along Chen Boulevard, near Tel
Aviv's Rabin Square, might imagine himself in an almost rural setting. Central
Tel Aviv is quiet, and the air is relatively clean as well. But when veteran
Israel Radio monitor Miki Gurdus, who lives on this street, adjusts his
satellite dish eastward, the illusion of quiet is shattered.

"When I turn my dish toward the Kirya, it's scary what goes on there," he said,
referring to the Israel Defense Forces headquarters. "There's a jungle of
broadcasts on an endless number of frequencies."

According to Gurdus, the air waves in the central region have been inundated
with broadcasts primarily because the defense establishment uses very
high-frequency communications that take over other frequencies. He says this
phenomenon has been increasing.

A month ago, after control-tower transmissions at Ben Gurion International
Airport were disrupted due to pirate radio broadcasts, Gurdus publicly warned
about the disruptions caused by the defense establishment. The warning prompted
the army to lower the power on some transmissions, he said, but the disruptions
caused by army and Defense Ministry facilities are far from over.

There are numerous other transmission disruptions, largely from pirate radio
stations. The disruptions affecting air traffic reflect a much broader problem:
With its geographically small area, the Israeli broadcast spectrum is packed,
and the frequency shortage is growing worse. There are countless contenders for
the limited range of frequencies suitable for radio broadcasts. A plethora of
devices and groups that use electromagnetic radiation - from television remote
controls through radios and air-traffic control towers - vie over an
increasingly crowded field. The fierce competition over frequencies often causes
one transmitter to disrupt the broadcasts of another.

Then there is the question of health hazards due to the increased radiation on
various frequencies. "Israel has an unusual problem involving to the
electromagnetic spectrum, because of the crowding on communication frequencies
the defense establishment utilizes," says Itzhak Ish-Horowitz of the
Interdisciplinary Center for Technological Analysis and Forecasting at Tel Aviv
University. According to Ish-Horowitz, who served as director general of the
Communications Ministry in the 1990s, technology is continually expanding the
range of frequencies available for broadcasting, but the number of consumers is
growing, too, so the result is crowding. He recommends negotiating with the
Defense Ministry, "which has slightly more allocations than it needs, and
rightly so."

The body responsible for Israel's frequencies is the Communications Ministry's
Spectrum Department, which allocates broadcast frequencies and supervises their
usage. This department is waging an ongoing battle against pirate radio
stations, which operate non-standard transmitters that are increasingly easy to
obtain.

Without effective oversight of all frequencies, it is impossible to guarantee
accurate monitoring of radiation damage to human health and the environment. The
Radiation Law of 2006, designed to introduce such oversight, exempted "defense
activity" by the Prime Minister's Office, the Defense Ministry, the army and the
police. These entities are supposed to comply with the law "to the best of their
ability." The Environmental Protection Ministry also considers the defense
establishment "autonomous" regarding monitoring radiation.

With increased electromagnetic radiation from the preponderance of radio and TV
broadcasts, mobile phones, GPS satellites and wireless networks, the potential
for adverse effects on human health has been debated for several years. But
leaving humans aside, studies conducted in recent years indicate that radiation
has a negative impact on the environment - for example on bird migration
patterns.

Some birds have a special organ for identifying changes in the earth's
electromagnetic field and adjust their migration course accordingly. "There is
no doubt that high levels of radiation affect birds' migration and navigation
abilities," says Dr. Yossi Leshem of Tel Aviv University. "Powerful
electromagnetic radiation causes them to get lost."

The IDF Spokesman's Office responded: "The IDF operates communications systems
along frequency ranges authorized and coordinated with the Communications
Ministry in accordance with the law. As a rule, the IDF does not operate
networks on frequencies used for communication between planes and control towers
at Ben Gurion International Airport."

Regarding radiation health hazards, the IDF statement said: "The prevailing
opinion among leading researchers is that the connection between radio radiation
and cancer has not been proven. The Medical Corps monitors radiation at bases,
and the bases located in civilian neighborhoods - their surroundings are checked
scrupulously. Naturally, if the safety of soldiers serving on bases is assured,
then there is certainly no danger to people living near the bases." ---End of

As a person may now see, there are Electro-magnetic Frequencies everywhere in
the Air around us, which even do the job of carrying radio and TV etc signals !

Didn't "WE" ever stop to wonder how messages could be carried thru the thin air
?

"WHY" is it so hard to then consider "WHY" the foods "WE" choose to eat may
Release Electro-magnetic Energy to Power the Body ?

As usual not everything may be as it may first seem to be !

Smile Tis your choice.
