Cellphone tower in my backyard or not?

What about power pylons? We have one of the medium sized ones in our back yard at the flat.

At night time, take a flourescent tube outside and hold it up under the pylon... Might work...

The problem is that electricity is harmful, these cell sites are very innocuous by comparison.

We had a small electricity sub-station (6ft by 6ft box) next to our house and before we bought it we checked with the locaql council and electricity company. Anyway our safety concerns were put to rest as the electromagnetism from the box was only measurable 2 feet from the box. Not sure if that was under a full load mind you... I read somewhere a long time ago (hence can't find the story) of a man in the US who wound copper around his garage and fed his home free power from the pylon that was "close" to his house... Perhaps you'll get to listen in on other peoples conversations and get paid for it too...

What a load of cock in this thread.Considering that you all live in houses full of small leaky mains transformers in virtually every apppliance you own.You probably enjoy a good night's sleep bathed in the feild from your clock radio.

You're not wrong and I made a similar point in a previous post. But I still wouldn't live under a power pylon as the EMR from those is somewhat greater than the average clock radio... I wouldn't have an issue with the cellphone tower, except the asthetics, amd I guess I could be paid to look the other way...

Is it purely the field strength though, or does the carrier frequency of the signals come into play?

No, it doesn't.

Don't do it. The less cell phone calls i can receive the better.

Fuckers.

Edit: Ban the tv towers too!!!!!!

The cool part is that it could barely be described as a pretty neighbourhood at the mo (Industrial A zoning) And for anyone visiting my property, they will need to go three quatrers of the way to the rear of the property before it is visible. Most of my clients dont go further than the front quater of the property anyway.
