  • Radioman 3 & 2
    RADIOMAN 3 & 2 PREFACE This book is written for enlisted personnel of the U.S. Navy and Naval Reserve who are studying for advancement to the rates of Radioman 3 and Radioman 2. Combined with the necessary practical experience and study of the publications in the reading list, the information in this course will assist the Radioman in preparing for Navywide examinations for advancement in rate. Those who work in communications know how fast procedures and equipment change. Between revisions of this training course some obso­ lescence may be unavoidable. For this reason, it is suggested that the student with access to official communication publications use them as much as possible in his study. As one of the Rate Training Manuals, Radioman 3 & 2 was prepared for the Naval Training Support Command by the Training Publications Division of the Naval Personnel Program Support Activity, Washington, D.C. It was reviewed by the Office of the Assistant Chief ofNavalOper­ ations (Communications)/Director, Naval Communications; Naval Ex­ amining Center, Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, ill.; U.S. Naval Schools, Radioman, Class A, at Bainbridge, Md. and San Diego, Calif., and Commander Cruiser Destroyer Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, San Diego, Calif.

  • Inquiry Into 5G in Australia 13 September 2019 Wednesday 30Th
    Inquiry into 5G in Australia 13 September 2019 Wednesday 30th October 2019 My name is GEORGE PARKER; I am an 82 year-old, ex-military veteran, communication officer and served in the Royal Australian Corps of Signals (1959- 80), and I suffer extremely from “electromagnetic radiation (EMR)” exposure from the wireless and electrical technology of the 21st Century. During my service in the military I was exposed to high levels of EMR from military communications equipment (electronic, wireless and electrical) over long-term and prolonged periods of time. The EMR exposure was made up from “microwave non- ionised radiation (MWNIR)” of the “radio frequency radiation “bands; and “electric- magnetic fields (EFs/MFs) of the “extremely low frequency (ELF) bands of the “electromagnetic frequency spectrum”. The EMR exposure had a bearing on my health during my military service and since 1980 and over time it materialised into significant physical health problems suffering ME, CFS, FMS; and now chronically and severely debilitated with peripheral neuropathy and distal myopathy and neurasthenic symptoms. My illness during my military service wasn’t known by the military medical system due to the undisclosed medical research (1930s-80s) that was known by other military individuals. The EMR exposure caused illnesses that were known as radarman’s illness (1930s), radioman’s illness (1940s), radiowave illness, microwave illness and electrical (EMF) illness (1950s-80s). Today, these illnesses are coined “electro sensitivity (ES)” and “electrohyper sensitivity (EHS)” Many medical research documents have stated that the egregious character of MWNIR and EFs/MFs has bearing on human health, and materialising into significant health problems.

  • Underground Mine Communications, Control and Monitoring

United States. Bureau of Mines. 11. Series: Information circular (United States. Bureau of Mines) ; 8955. TN295,U4 [Till3441 622s [622',2] 83-600288 & PREFACE Since 1969, the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of Interior, has sponsored numerous programs aimed at improving methods of underground communication. As a result of these research and development programs, a wealth of information has been made available to the mining industry. Unfortunately, some of this material is highly analytical, and most is written in terms best understood by communication specialists. Because of the volume of data (over 100 studies have been performed) and its highly technical nature, most of the information is not readily avail- able for practical application by mine operators. This manual brings together relevant data from all previous reports, studies, and other sources, and presents these data in such a way that they may be applied by the mining industry to improve communications in underground mines. This report is intended as a guideline and not as a comprehensive documentary of mine equipment.
