Amateur radio is chat roulette.

You never know when you get that one operator hey?

The minimum safe distance from the antennas for most HF is pretty small. If you're 1m or so away you'll be safe enough for OSHA on 20m and lower. I forget what the MSD is for 10m at 100W 50% Duty cycle is.

I’ll claim my Canadian operator right to not have to know 😀

@@MrMudsRadioTime OSHA has pretty conservative radiation exposure limits. I was joking that even they would be satisfied with your setup. The FCC added a requirement for us in the US to do RF exposure assessments for our stations last year and I had just been looking at mine so I had the info off the top of my head still.
