another problem near towers

SArjuna
The following is from www.electricalpollution.com
We had a 25 MHz in the ground at our home, about 3/4 mile from such a
tower light. The signal corresponded in time to when the light blinked on/off.
It also corresponded to bzzzz sensations in my left leg! I gave the tower
company a horrible time until they put in the choke.

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.

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.
