Panel suggests radar analysis

By KEVIN DENNEHY

A national panel of experts asked by Congress to assess the safety of 
the Air Force's PAVE PAWS radar station yesterday recommended ways the 
military can better address the years-old issue.

In a three-page letter to the Air Force, the panel from the National 
Research Council suggested how and where sophisticated measurements can 
be collected from the Sagamore station.

The analysis will be considered by the Air Force, which earlier this 
year began a complex series of measurements of the radar beam emanating 
from the 10-story radar station, which sits on the edge of the Cape Cod 
Canal.

While most of the beam shoots over the surrounding towns, so-called 
"side lobes" spill onto the community. Some say the beam is no different 
than any other radar beams. Others wonder whether the phased array of 
beams are harming humans at the cellular level, perhaps causing 
diseases.
