AMETEUR RADIO CONCERNS

Paul UK enquires -

Should I be concerned re a ameteur radio monopole mast that has been erected
some 50m from my house ? I have noticed that the signal on my terestrial TV
has gone wavey in the evenings, this might be causing it, well sod the TV
what might it be doing to me as an elec sens person, I do not think my
electrosmog detector picks up the frequency. Can anyone advise me here, perhaps
sugesst a meter as well to analyse the pattern/frequency of use.

thanks

Paul

There was a recent post on the frequency of TV/radio stations here, I thinkit was from Charles. Peg

Hi Paul
As a licensed radio amateur I would like to offer a range of
possibilities that might be useful in understanding your neighbour's
activities.

First of all is he a licensed radio amateur or a citizens band
operator (CB)?

CB'ers apart from a licence do not need any technical knowledge to
operate their equipment and a legal CB apparatus is generally limited
to about 5 watts of RF output. This level of output is a requirement
of the type approval certificate for legal CB apparatus.  

It is not an awful lot of power, handheld mobile phones held to the
head can emit anything up to 2-3 watts when used normally and
accessing a distant base station.

At the same time this apparatus should not cause any TV interference.
The power limit of 5 watts is meant to limit TVI.

A CB apparatus that might have a booster amplifier running in series
illegally could emit much more power up to 300 watts.
This would be an illegal operation of the equipment and it could also
cause television interference.
CB'ers do operate monopoles and their frequencies might be in the 27
Mhz range and most likely not detectable by sensors like the electro
smog detector.

Power is radiated from the antenna system only when the operator is
speaking to any distant station and therefore the emissions are of an
intermittent nature. The TV interference observed serves as a useful
guide to the duration of the radiation.

Licensed radio amateurs need to pass a City and Guilds exam before
they are allowed to operate on frequencies set aside for their use in
the RF spectrum. There are power limits to legal operation of their
equipment and this is generally limited to 400 watts. (26dbw). The
terms of their licence require that they operate in a way that their
equipment should not cause any TVI.
If your neighbour is a licensed radio amateur and is running a
monopole this could be for operating on the short wave bands between
1.0 and 30 megahertz. Once again the radiation from these frequencies
might not be detectable with electro smog detectors, and he could be
legally running up to 400 watts in power.
You have a right to approach him and inform him about the TVI that
you are experiencing and it is his responsibility to do something
about it. He should be logging all his transmissions and if you make
a note of the times you observe TVI this would be compared to his
logbook for elimination purposes.
Once again the radiation is of an intermittent nature and not
continuous like mobile phone base stations and it seems by sitefinder
not nearly as powerful.

Short wave transmissions however are far more penetrating and seem to
go through everything including some shielding unlike radiation from
mobile phone base stations.
At only 50 meters distance and if your neighbour is running anything
between 100-400 watts you would be getting a fair amount of unwanted
radiation that might not be helpful to your health.
If the emissions from your neighbour had been of a continuous nature
then the unwanted health effects experienced by the residents at
Schwarzenberg (Berne), Vatican (Rome) and Akrotiri (Cyprus) might
manifest themselves after the appropriate passage of time amongst
some residents in your neighbourhood.
Epidemiological studies suggest that amateur radio operators might
suffer from elevated levels of incidence to leukaemia. This implies
that exposure might be cumulative. (Cherry)

Having lived near a mast for many years and observed at first hand
the adverse impact to health unwanted radiation might have on
residents I am aware of the biological impact ICNIRP complaint
emissions might have on humans and now seemingly on plants. Our mast
group has about 15 case studies to date that suggest netting and
other shielding systems might offer alleviation to the debilitating
effects of long term above natural ambience RF exposure.
Most radio amateurs that I know however seem to share the government
and industry view that health effects due to weak RF exposure are not
physiological but psychological.
from a technological aspect taking on board the possibility that RF
might be damaging to health has very radical and profound
implications to this recent and rapidly proliferating technology.
Perhaps if you engage with your neighbour in discussions you might be
able to find out what he is doing and perhaps develop some form of
rapport.

All the best

PAUL UK REPILES -

Many thanks for your imformative reply, scarily enough, I know of at least 3
people that have died due to some form of luekemia/cancer in my vicinity inc.
my nextdoor neighbours wife ! Probably unconected but as you say its worth
investigating.

Thanks again

Paul
