Dopis z Cape Cod

Rubrika: Přišlo emailem

Přišel mi email. Pisatelka, paní Jílková se pokusila navázat kontakt
s hnutím proti radaru v Cape Cod a obdržela od tamních fyziků celkem
zajímavý material. O tomto radaru jsem psal nedávno v článku Co
zabíjí mladé lidi v úžině Cape Cod?. Ačkoliv máme tady ve
Zvědavci zvyk, že články jsou v češtině, tentokrát činím
výjimku a ponechávám celou korespondenci v angličtině. Prosím,
všimněte si také příloh na konci článku. Jsou sice trošku obecné,
ale pamatujme: Jsou to střípky do mozaiky. Čím více budeme o tom
vědět, tím nesnadněji nás budou opíjet rohlíkem.

Dobrý den pane Stwora,

zasílám Vám ještě nějaké podklady, toto mi přišlo od US fyziků
... je tam kontakt na paní Sharon Judge, která vede hnutí proti radaru
v CAPE COD, psala jsem jí email, ale neodepsala. Tak nevím, jestli to
není spojením ....

Dopis paní Evy Jílkové odeslaný na adresu bpcurry@worldnet.att.net

Hello, my name is Iva Jilkova, I am from Prague, Czech republic. USA are
now planning to build huge anti-missile radar station, just next to my
hometown (60km from Prague, on the highest hill in our region). Most
people in our country do not agree, but politicians are well pre-paid and
try to force the negotiations FOR the Radar. Besides we will be the first
target in futre US wars (possibly with Russia and China), I am worried
about the health risks of having such a big microwave next to us. Please
do you have any studies about the influence of such radars? We could use
it for the information of peoples, municipalities etc. Thank you. Iva

Dear Iva,

There have been and, I think, are still continuing studies about the
impact of  the "Pave Paws" radar system installed on Cape Cod on the
Massachusetts coast.

Someone who could give you more information about those studies is Sharon
Judge.  She is a housewife and mother whose family live in the area
affected  by this installation.  The cancer rate has risen significantly
since the Pave  Paws radar began operation in her area.  Her contact
information is stated  below, as of 1998.  I don't know whether her
address, phone number, and Email  address have changed or not since that
time.  Richard Judge is a Selectman for the town, which means that he is
an elected member of the town government.

JUDGE, Sharon

  Email:  judges@capecod.net

Sharon and her husband, Richard, are leading the challenge to the PAVE
PAWS Radar installation at Otis Air Force Base in Sandwich.  They are also
 working for responsible wireless facility siting policy in their town.
They have a wealth of experience dealing with military and state
bureaucracy in their efforts to educate their community.

A medical researcher in the Air Force and a professor at the University of
 Vermont have raised substantial objections to the Air Force's reassurances
to  the surrounding communities that the radar is safe and will be
carefully  monitored for any health hazards.  Part of the researchers'
objections are  based on the fact that this radar produces very fast
pulses that interact with  living tissue in a different and more drastic
way than other microwave pulses.

One of the researchers is Dr. Kurt Ougstun at the University of Vermont.
The  other researcher is Dr. Richard Albanese of the Air Force Research
Lab.  Dr.  Ougstun and his Air Force colleague have written several
papers, both jointly  and separately, about how fast electromagnetic
pulses interact with biological  material.  Below is an abstract of a
review by Dr. Robert Adair of Yale  University of the study that I
mentioned.  He usually doesn't accept the  notion that electromagnetic
pulses could be harmful, unless they deposit  enough energy to cause
biological heating.  I don't have his paper, but here  is its abstract.

Environmental objections to the PAVE PAWS radar system: a scientific
review.  Adair RK.

Department of Physics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8121.

As part of our continental defense system, the United States Air Force has
 operated a radar system, known generally by the label PAVE PAWS, off of
Cape  Cod, MA since 1978. Some populated areas in the vicinity of the
system are  subject to a low level of background radiofrequency radiation
from the system, and local citizens' groups have expressed concern that
this radiofrequency  radiation may affect their health. These concerns
have been fueled by  presentations and letters by Dr. R. A. Albanese, an
applied mathematician at  the Air Force Research Laboratory, who has
proposed standards by which that  PAVE PAWS radiofrequency radiation which
is incident on populations should be  judged. I discuss those standards
that are sufficiently well defined to be  subject to analysis and show
that they are not based on sound quantitative  reasoning.

Personally, I don't put much stock in the arrogant Dr. Adair's opinion,
but  this is the only thing I have been able to find about the Pave Paws
radar  study review.  Perhaps you can get more complete information from
Sharon  Judge.  I hope this information is useful to you and I will try to
find Dr.  Ougstun's papers to send you.  Good luck in your opposition to
these powerful  radars.

A zde je ještě druhý dopis od pana Curryho

Iva,

I found a list of some of Dr. Oughstun's publications that are pertinent
to the problem of how the short. fast. and very powerful radar pulses
propagate in various media.  There is one joint publication with Dr.
Albanese in this list.  I don't have any of these papers, but you should
consider whether you can get them from a scientific or medical library at
a university in Prague.

Try to find the above papers and then contact me again if I can be of any
further help.

Pokud by někdo chtěl převzít štafetu od paní Jílkové a pokračovat
v další korespondenci, je to vítáno. (Neměli bychom nechávat všechno
na slabé ženě :-) ) Jak vidíte z korespondence, američtí vědci
nekoušou a jsou poměrně přátelští a ochotní vyjít vstříc.
Alespoň někteří na tamních univerzitách. Podle mého názoru by bylo
ale nejlepší navázat spojení přímo s paní Judge Sharon, která vede
hnutí proti radarům na Cape Cod. Emaily i další kontakty jsou v
článku uvedeny.
