RE: OT: Mobile Phone Masts

["Keith Doxey" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

The transmitters radiate outwards not downwards and are VERY directional
which is why there are aerials pointing in all directions. Total combined
RF
power is quite high.

There is a site on the roof of Bishops Stortford Telephone Exchange which
had t  be shut down whilst a leaking roof was repaired after the
contractors
complained of feeling unwell.

Signal strength several hundred metres away would be well dispersed but you
wouldnt want t  be directly inline with the transmitter at close range
unless you like having your internal organs microwaved !!!

This always gets me: it's a physics fundamental isn't it? Radiated field
strength is inversely proportional t  distance from emmiter..

The power going each way in a mobile phone call must be about the same.
Sure
the base station has much bigger antennae but still, they can't be pumping
out more than five or six times what a handset does...

And yet people think the masts are a terrible health risk, but clamp a
phone
flat a against the side of their head.....

I can see a pile of transmitters a few hundred metres away on the hilltop.
They bother me a lot less than the handset itself does!

or have I, again, got my physics all skewwiff?

Ian.
