Re: Water as an emf block

I have been told, however, that cell towers have to boost their signal
when it precipitates. Does anyone know if this is true?
And, Garth, does "mostly functional" mean that there is some decline in
signal reception?

That might be part of the jigsaw wherby certain ES people feel skiffy given
ceratin weather patterns. Funnily enough I feel like crap today its snowed
here in the south east of uk today.

Ps can someone finally please enlighten me as to why a single supporting
alluminium strip that holds polycarbonate roof sheeting on my conservatory
(approx 2.4 m longx 25mm wide) has both an elec feild and a mag feild ? Any ideas.

Paul

double ps - Can mu metal shield emfs in cars ?

Try looking up the terms "rain fade" and "rain attenuation" as applied
in the telecom sector for more info, too. Here's a brief description URL:

Yes, it does have some effect on microwaves, especially, and it is
true that some cell towers do vary signal power to compensate for
weather.

My point in the earlier post was that the effect is pretty minimal on
lower frequencies (such as AM broadcast stations or powerline
frequencies), and that even at microwave range, it takes a lot of
rain or snow to dramatically reduce exposure. Here in seattle, both
my cell phone and GPS (sattelite based) worked just fine in the
recent snowstorms, for instance.
