== Radio Safety <ref name = "ref1"/> ==
RF safety is one of the most important yet one of the most neglected safety protocols. Negligence of this form of safety measures can lead to radiation burns harming personal health at a level equivalent to fire burns when it comes to working at the ground station. Some of the safety measures suggested are as follows:
* '''No person should be in the near field region when antenna is transmitting:''' There are 2 major reasons for this. First, being in that region during high power transmission can cause severe radio burns. Second, presence of anyone close to the antenna can affect the radiation pattern of the transmitting antenna.
