It is indeed possible that some people have the ability to detect some electromagnetic fields directly. I recall a report I read in the 1970s that there are at least some who seem to have an ability to demodulate AM signals and hear the audio - there was a patented design last century that

Hi Steve... The cause of people hearing radio transmissions in their heads has been traced to old school tooth fillings that used an amalgam of metals (sometimes Mercury), that, with the saline (conductive) mixture of saliva, produced a non-linear detector, similar to the detector in a crystal

Its true that there are physiological phenomena that indicate some effects from RF power exposure. In very controlled experiments with rabbits, mice and other creatures, exposure to significant doses of EM fields have caused things like audible clicks in hearing, and calcium ions crossing cell

There's no doubt that those jump to some conclusion and WANT to believe will find 100% correlation to their beliefs one way or the other because their want over powers scientific reason. There is no doubt that the human body responds to RF fields, that's how MRI's work. That being said, I and a

Steve, There's nothing special about this circuit... Circuit 7 is a phase-shift oscillator, driving circuit 10, an RF amplifier that is Screen-Grid modulated by circuit 19. The thing that I find odd is that the RF Amplifier is not 'tuned'... The plate circuit consisting solely of item 16, a
