I read that people who are extremely sensitive to RF have moved here and have claimed to experience some relief.

from the article:

> The area has also attracted people who believe they suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, though scientific experiments have shown this condition is caused by the nocebo effect rather than electromagnetic waves

I remember learning about these as part of the prep for the amateur operator license exams. Somebody really wanted hams to know about it.

I wondered how much of the Quiet Zone effect was used for scientific research and how much was for military applications, say, on a pie graph...or a venn diagram :-)

BTW: "scientific experiments have shown this condition is caused by" > link to nocebo page > "Evidence suggests" ...hmmmm...sucks that the wording is such an issue with this stuff, but really, that's quite an awkward differential
