Hi, Stephen,
I didn't have the meter long enough to do a very good check, but it appeared that in the master bedroom, the meter spiked closer to the floor, under the window. It is interesting that the Gauss meter spiked in exactly the same place when I measured there with that. I cannot see that anything could be there! I also cannot see what is outside there--there is a thick shrub hedge under the window. Perhaps this calls for some redesigning of the gardens, Stephen! ;) Nothing is under the floor there tho. Before we rewired the house, we had all metal that could be removed, taken out from under that room. We moved all the water and gas lines to the opposite side of the house, because it made no sense to have the pipes there in the first place--no sinks, stoves, etc there. The house was REALLY full of metal when we bought it and we were able to cut out about half of it and at least 4 bushel baskets of electrical and telephone wiring--no
kidding either!
There is no solar, no aluminum in attic or under shingles, no insulation problem. Possibly ductwork. Between ducts and metal shielded cable, there is still quite a bit of metal going on. But the meter measures the same everywhere, not more nearer the metal--that was the first place I rechecked with the meter. The house is a 1 story brick house with a cement block basement. One would think it would measure wireless differently nearer the metal, at least. This was why I thought the bug meter was possibly not a true measure, even tho the inspector thought it would work for picking up all wireless frequencies. Possibly it picks up just a particular spectrum of wireless frequencies. Interestingly, the inspector teaches electrical wiring and he uses this meter to catch students cheating on tests (texting each other the answers).
Not sure what frequencies this meter measures. The meter used was a DC 2020 (I think this was the name.) The inspector took off with his meter before I could check anywhere with the circuits off. He gave it to me to "play with" while he was talking with the electrician, just to see whether I could detect high wireless frequencies with it in any of the spots I thought wireless was bothering me. The results were only 50/ 50. In 2 places I had detected what I thought were wireless frequencies, the meter spiked. In 2 more places I thought I felt wireless frequencies, the meter did not spike. Interestingly, it also did not spike near the windows which are yet unshielded and I also think I feel wireless frequencies coming thru the windows.
Thanks for your input, Stephen. I appreciate it.
Diane

Diane, I have no idea either... Also not that much experience in measuring
either!
My best guesses:
-Reflection of metal (in roof, insulation, walls, floor heating, airco
vents, solar power on roof,...?)
-Some emf-source in the house you did not detect yet (unlikely I suppose):
if you put off the fuse box you measure the same?
-You mention reading more on bedroom window... Do you read more on 1st/2nd
floor vs ground floor? Maybe the higher the more emf you measure, that would
definitely be true in NYC I guess, but not so much on the countryside?!
-You're sure that bug meter measures high freq. emf only and not low freq.
emf?
