Since 2010 when I became aware my Acoustic Neuroma was caused by a workplace exposure to over 100 watts per sqm of 10GH radiation and my ensuring battle with the provincial WCB to have them even attempt to understand the cause of my injury. The full answer is more than can be put in a comment. I will try and get a full substack article out in the next few days, will be a useful addition to my series on radiation

The situation was not normal workers in the field I was working in. I was working with a Telurometer which was an early electronic distance measuring device. If high enough up could measure 100 miles. The device used microwaves (10 GHz. The device is seldom used now, suspect because of the possibility of the experience I had. Few involved in survey have even heard of the device and my guess less than 1000 from that era ever even used the device.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm so glad we could connect - hopefully we can push this message far and wide. The recent horse deaths woke a lot of people up I believe.

Between us we should be able to bring the issue to more and more people,. Was the main reason why I became involved in our local community TV and now am on substack as well as other platforms
