Altered behavior is a marker for physical effect.

But you have to work out which physical effect is making the difference. The fact that you can see cell phone towers doesn\'t mean that they are what is making the difference.

Physicians for Safe Technology doesn\'t sound all that mainstream. and physicians have published some truly terrible science.

Here\'s some 5G BS for ya I ran across a while back...

\"comments are turned off\". YouTube is mostly not worth wasting time on, and when comments are turned off it\'s really not worth finding out why.

\"The recently proposed Connect Our Parks Act calls for increased cell service in parks but does not weigh the damaging impacts of wireless radio frequency (RF) radiation — emitted by cellular installations — on all living creatures. Introduced by Sens.

They\'re right about that. RF is strongly suspected of disorienting navigation of many different organisms, which is not surprising since it\'s well known their natural sensory systems are beyond belief sensitive.

The people who strongly suspect it are beyond belief whack jobs.

This is how you end up with the \"Devil Bird\" migrating to NYC, quite a ways from Brazil.

It isn\'t. The articles actually blames global warming for messing up the environment, rather than cellular radio towers messing the bird\'s navigation.

More legislation introduced by phony pro-business GOP types prostituting their home states for tourist dollars, re-paying their donors for campaign contributions:

Wack jobs do get worried about cellular radio tower emissions. There\'s not a scrap of objective evidence that the emissions have any effect at all, but whack jobs run on irrational prejudice, rather than rational argument.

Since radiation exposure goes down, iirc, as the square of
distance, you would probably get far more radiation exposure every
time you put your mobile to your ear. The 5G stuff here in the uk
has caused a lot of controversy, but no evidence, as usual. You
just can\'t debate anything with some technically illiterate people.
Belief system, not reason.

Been around ham radio and other transmitters for a lifetime, but
would still probably use a hands free kit for the mobile if I used
it a lot...

BUT it is GREAT BS !

You can comment here where some people may understand you. It was
the BSers that did not want intelligent people to comment.

It is extremely unlikely that cell towers affect anything that isn\'t
very close to the emitters. Back in the old days some of the fast long
range microwave links had dangerous power levels up close to the
emitter. I suspect that they did for a RF engineer of my acquaintance
who died very young of an unusual and rare brain cancer.

Well, these long-range microwave links are not all that powerful, so
let\'s talk about radar engineers and technicians. We\'re talking
megawatts versus a kilowatt.
Direct visual line of sight links require little radiated power
(EiRP).

Apparently the \"long-range\" links refer to the troposcatter
over-the-horizon links between Scotland and the North Sea oil rigs.
Such tropospheric scatter links require really high EiRP. When going
over the radio horizon, you have to increase the power ten times (+10
dB) for every degree the signal has to bend down past the horizon.

Those North Sea links had huge fixed parabolic reflectors on the
shore.

It is interesting to note that people get more and more scared when
the parabolic disk size is increased. In fact if the transmitter power
remains the same, the near field field strength is lowered when the
disk size is increased. The most dangerous point in a parabolic
antenna is close to the feed point. Never look into the waveguide or
feedhorn unless you are absolutely sure that the transmitter is
powered down, or you may get blind in a few seconds.


Regarding the 5 MW EiRP UHF transmitters, the much smaller transmitter
power is directed towards the horizon to reach as far as possible.
Very little is radiated above the horizon or to the ground just around
the tower. Thus walking on the ground towards the tower, the power
densities remains quite low.

However do not fly close to the tower at 300 to 600 m altitude in a
wooden biplane, since you are in the antenna main lobe and the wooden
plane doesn\'t protect you as a metallic plane does.

Alaska\'s now long gone White Alice network was used to provide phone service between all military bases. It was used to provide service over mountain ranges. I used it in \'73/\'74. It worked quite well, but it required very large antennas and a lot of power. It used refraction to go over mountain peaks.. There are photos online, along with it\'s history. It states that this was the first used for that application.

The STL transmitters we used were at 7GHz and under 5W for a 40+ mile hop.

You couldn\'t get enough signal in the transmitter building to monitor your signal. The transmitter had a test port that we used for off air monitoring.. The tower was 1700 feet tall, with two TV, five FM and a Trunking radio service, along with man leased repeaters for Government agencies like the fire service. Our antenna was at the top.

Because of its height, and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, the seaward side had a reflector to minimize the seaward side signal.


However do not fly close to the tower at 300 to 600 m altitude in a
wooden biplane, since you are in the antenna main lobe and the wooden
plane doesn\'t protect you as a metallic plane does.
