What I don't get is that there is no evidence of massive cancer clusters in power workers.
Nor is there any evidence of such in telephone switchmen, who for over a hundred years have worked in equipment racks surrounded by coils, solenoids, and relays generating various steady and pulsing fields.
If there was any real concern, surely we would have seen some sort of higher average occurrence rate in those exposed to strong fields regularly by now?
I'm not even very concerned about mobile phones.
Over in North Walsham -- about 10 mi. from here -- there's a protest going on about the new TETRA antennas which have recently appeared on the town's police station. It's funny how the people never complained about the old VHF and UHF antennas, which have been there for years.
I've never heard of any protests over UHF TV masts either, which on the upper end of the band are on near-enough the same frequencies as cellphones, but with a
much higher ERP.
Have a look at this site and see what you think:
