It also covers radar, radio and TV broadcast towers and many related topics. Its headquarters is in New York City.
History and profile
[edit]The first print issue was published in January 1981. In June 2003, the publication converted to a Web-based format. Microwave News is independent and is not aligned with any industry or government agency.[1]
A complete archive of the print issues is available in PDF format at no charge from the Microwave News Web site.[2] PDFs of the Web editions may also be downloaded.[3]
A 1990 Time magazine profile of Microwave News and its editor, Louis Slesin, said that the newsletter is "meticulously researched and thoroughly documented."[4][verify]
In his 2000 book Voodoo Science, Robert L. Park described Microwave News as "an influential newsletter devoted entirely to the EMF-health issue" (Page 141) but cited the American Physical Society, stating "Paul Brodeur and Microwave News in particular, had given the public a seriously distorted view of the scientific facts." (Page 158)[5]
