Re: VHF Radio to Antenna distance
From radio to antenna there is no recommended safe distance.
However with a VHF radio transmitting at 25 watts the safe exposure range (distance of you to antennae) is 8 ft.
Ever watch a fluorescent light bulb held up to a radio antenna when it's keyed up? Yea it glows. I wouldn't want all that energy going into my body. The antenna should be as far away from people as you can get it.
