[IRCA] Fwd: [mwcircle] Bird Migration affected by LF & ME radio signals




from MW Circle....the interesting thing is that this turned out to be very much a local problem, as moving the test site one kilometer allowed the birds to re-orient themselves. So, local electrical noise?
I've often thought that the way to defeat 
electro-smog is to make it an environmental 
issue...the possibilities are endless.   Imagine 
putting the attack dogs of Greenpeace etc. onto 
the  DXer's problem of local electrical noise, 
which surely can be construed as causing health 
problems.   (after all, a good blast of local 
noise covering the latest DX can be shown to 
raise the blood pressure, but what of those long 
term effects of RF exposure, hi.)
best wishes,

Nick



The electronic and AM radio signals have a surprising effect on migratory birds, since they can become disorientated them. According to research published in the <http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=es&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Fnature%2Fjournal%2Fvaop%2Fncurrent%2Ffull%2Fnature13290.html>journal Nature, these devices disrupt the activity of the internal compasses of birds night, indispensable to direct your flight. The study raises the possibility that cities, full of this electromagnetic "noise" created by human beings, have significant effects on bird migration patterns.
Many nocturnal songbirds rely on the weak 
magnetic field of the Earth to navigate, but 
until now, there was little evidence of the 
electromagnetic radiation created by human 
beings to affect the sensory system of these animals.

The biologist Henrik Mouritsen and his team have shown signals of AM radio and electronic equipment to disrupt the internal compass of European Robins (Erithacus rubecula). In the experiment, conducted at the University of Oldenburg, a German city of 160,000 people, they kept the birds in wooden cabins, a standard procedure that allows researchers to study the magnetic navigation while they ensure that birds are not receiving signals from the Sun or the stars. But they found that birds could not be oriented in the correct migratory direction.
So Mouritse decided to cover the huts with 
aluminum panels electromagnetic noise at 
frequencies ranging from 50 kHz 5 megahertz, 
which includes the range used for AM radio 
transmissions. Under these conditions, the birds 
were Yes able to orient themselves.
Before sharing their results, the team spent 
seven years performing double-blind tests 
replicated independently by different 
generations of students. «We wanted to make sure 
that we could actually document what we were 
seeing was real,» says Mouritsen Nature.
The results are that human activity and life in 
the cities could be modifying in any way the 
migration of birds and, therefore, their survival.
