Hi Russ,

I've written before about radio and TV towers.
Go to http://esens.966376.n3.nabble.com and search for "Sutro Tower"
There it is, 2011.Sep.15, top of the list.

I also downloaded a presentation by Dr. Magda Havas (2008) where the
distances for towers in studies for health effects was given at 32
minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/v/OmK6r0ntroE
Health effects were measured at
4 km for Broadcast towers.
400 meters for cellular towers.
The studies compared to people three times that distance, to approach
"safe" levels, 12 Km is 7.5 miles for broadcast towers.
And of course, I have trouble with cellular at 7 miles... so the bottom
line may be, it Depends on each individual's response and sensitivity.

I thought analog transmitters were generally safer, as the rise in EHS
really took off with digital communications. Remember the "jackhammer"
vs. "strong wind" illustration.
BUT there are studies going back 100 years showing that Electrification
is the root cause of modern diseases.

I agree, Puget Sound is a beautiful place. But I had to leave that area,
so edit my verb to "Was".
