< Escaping Wi-Fi in the National Quiet Zone Transcript Friday, September 16, 2011 Share Print Email BOB GARFIELD: Paul Ewing was the co-leader of the Intrepid DX groups voyage to South Sudan. Hes an example of someone who will go to extremely great lengths to receive radio waves. There is a smaller cohort of people--and a much less enthusiastic one--who go to similar trouble to avoid radio waves altogether. They are the sufferers of what they call EHS, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, which they say afflicts them with debilitating headaches, rashes, muscle spasms and other symptoms. So severely are they affected by radio broadcasts, Wi-fi, electromagnetic emanations of power lines, appliances and so on, that some have fled to a remote West Virginia refuge called the U.S. Radio Quiet Zone. BBC reporter Matt Danzico made a trip recently to Green Bank, West Virginia, the epicenter of radio-free America.
