There has been quite a bit of discussion here abut problems from transmitting towers of various kinds, but one aspect has been overlooked. The following information is from www.electricalpollution.com, where you can also see a waveform created by the strobe lights on these towers. We have a tower about a mile from us that transmits radio signals to boats on Lake Michigan. (So I was told.) We found the 25 MHz signal in the ground of our yard, corresponding in time to the visible flash of the strobe. It also corresponded in syncopated time with a buzz up my left leg. (Comes into buildings via the pipes, wiring, etc.) I gave the tower company a very, very hard time until they put the choke on, and the signal and the buzzing stopped. They never admitted that they put it on (Initially they swore it already had one, but their tech person told me otherwise.), but there is nothing else out here in farm country putting out a frequency like that, that just happens to synch with their light. The frequencies introduced into the ground by all the tower equipment may turn out to be the most harmful frequencies these various towers expose people to. Nobody has done research on this, so far as I know. At any rate, shielding a wall will do nothing to protect you from frequecies that are radiating from all your wiring, water pipes, phone lines, etcetera. Regards, Shivani Strobing cell-tower lights installed without the RF Choke are hazardous to your health. In May 2001 some very high frequency signals appeared on equipment monitoring electrical ground currents at a few dairy farms in Wisconsin. The signal was traced to a nearby cell tower whose rotating beacon light had just recently been changed to a strobing light. The origin of the signal was verified by shutting off the strobing light momentarily. The signal on the monitoring equipment disappeared while the light was off. The signal starts at about 25 MHz and rings down from there. It is produced when the capacitors, which store up the 1000 volts or more needed to strobe the light, release that energy all at once to strobe the light. Therefore, a high frequency and high voltage impulse is released each time the light flashes. If the RF Choke is in place and the utilities wires are adequate to carry the current back to the substation, there is no problem. However, many companies, not realizing the problem they cause, have opted to save the approximately $30 and omit the filter. The utility system, in many areas, cannot return such a high frequency high voltage impulse to the substation on the neutral wire, as it should. Therefore, it takes the path of least resistance back to the substation. The path of least resistance is not always the shortest path. Problems have been found as far as 6 miles from the tower. People unfortunate enough to live in the return path may experience symptoms of Radiofrequency Sickness. (Click to enlarge) These can include: sleeplessness or disturbed sleep, fever, rash, nausea, inability to concentrate, thinking in a fog, short-term memory problems, sore joints particularly hip joints, irritable bowel syndrome, miscarriage, and birth defects. Symptoms, particularly the fever, clear up outside of the exposure area as long as there is not continued exposure to high frequencies from another source. Dairy farms unfortunate enough to be in the path may experience decreased milk production, longer milking time, poor cow coat and health, miscarriages, difficulty breeding cows back, and difficulty getting cows to eat and drink properly. These problems can be substantially cleared up by the cell tower companies if they install the approximately $30 filter. Additionally, cell tower companies should install filters on the electronic equipment running at the towers, so that they are in compliance with the IEEE-519 rules. An ordinance requiring compliance with the IEEE-519 was passed recently at the county level in a county in Wisconsin. Follow the link to obtain information to assist with passage of a similar ordinance by your local zoning board. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
