alt A new Version V1.01 of the software ICNIRPcalc was uploaded to the IARU R1 Server. For download please click here. With ICNIRPcalc everbody can calculate safety distances for many know amateur radio antennas with respect to ICNIRP limits. A similar programm is in use in Germany for station assesment for many years.

The Version 1.0 contained a major bug, because it ran only with German keyboard settings. This bug should be gone now. Furthermore the Program can now be used in German, English and French, and it is prepared to carry other languages, if provided to the author.
