Re: Towers, Antennas:How much is too much?

We moved into a new house recently and I just did a search for towers and
antennas.
In a 4.0 mile radius, we have 43 towers, and 424 antennas. Is this
normal/average?

PUK replies - I suppose it depends on how much is heading your way ? Looks
like you need to meter the place. I would like to say it depends on how
you feel, but raection to these things are complex and non linear so best
avoided as far as possible.

Sounds like a pretty urbanized area. I'd be more interested in how
many within 1 mile and whether there was line of sight to them.

Six months ago I checked & had 342 antennas & it is too much for me here. Not able to sleep here. Maybe you can handle it?  Loni

I put the window shield up on all of the windows & the meters registered fairly low in their readings but I still fry. We are more sensitive to it than the meters IMO. LOni

That's a good point Bill. I have about 8 antennas straight shot out my backwindow fairly close at the school & library. It's all about how you feel. They air there however has to be pretty thick with it. Loni

The one meter that is supposed to be sensitive enough is the old
Aaronia HF-detektor. Unfortunately they tend to break (be very gentle
with the antenna) and are hard to read outdoors... but I think they have a
10 year warranty
and the company seems to be good about fixing them.

Re: Towers, Antennas:How much is too much?

My Building Biologist had a $2,000 meter that she said was very sentitive. Registered low in my daughter's bedroom. I tried to sleep on the floor on an air mattress behind the bed to have more sheilding & still fried. She's in college so bedroom is free.  I had to go to the park last night at 3 am. Couldn't tolerate the burning. I couldn't relax, it was terrible. My nerves were getting cooked. Loni

Did you check for low frequencies too? I now think that 60Hz electric
fields
below 1 volt per meter can matter.

Re: Towers, Antennas:How much is too much?

Hi Amy,
 
I am not sure there is a normal or average!  In my area, the amount of towers and antenna are vastly different from one place to another.  One county seat here had over 80 towers and a couple hundred antennae within 4 miles the last time I looked, while another county seat had only 13 towers and 29 antennae.  In the country it varies vastly too.  In the middle of absolutely nowhere--where I cannot even see one house, I might be able to take in a panoramic view of a dozen towers (and not see antennae, not that they too are not present).  Just 7 miles from me there is a *small* town, where there are 12 towers all well within the town limits (way closer than 4 miles away--practically on top of one another).  More antennae there as well.  On the Pa turnpike, there is placed at least one tower/mile along it.  But every here and there, there will be groups of 3 or 4 (or more) all together.  So, there seems (to me at least) little rhyme or
reason to the number of towers and antennae in any given place. 
 
As to the numbers where you live--43 towers seems not exceedingly high if it is a large metropolitan area.  But the amount of antenna does seem disproportionately high compared with what I have found in my area--generally, the antenna are about double the amount of towers.

I wish you well,
Diane

I don't even have a meter yet. I felt so good moving in here, before we got
cable and wifi, etc... With six other people I am outnumbered. I just keep
threatening to move to the middle of nowhere!

PUK replies - the effects of cable ie (unsheilded) TV is largely
underestimated, coupled with the cheap mass produced TV boxes and sets that take and
display the data, this is a major polluting ES factor for us.
