Objection to mast - best way to object a Vodafone contractor proposing to erect a mast

[sPoNiX]

A Mast is much bigger, hence the cloud would be bigger,yes?

If you overdose on Aspirin you will die. Talking more on top will not change that.

Clearly you can not read either.

Whoa! Read what I have written! All I was doing was passing on one of the alternative theories as to possible risks with masts.

I never said I did or didn't believe it!

Where did I say that I believed in "athermal effects"

Where did I say that?

Since TETRA uses TDMA and not FDMA, would you please explain where 18Hz frequency comes into the equation?

Don Spumey reckoned that...

How would you define "problems"?

[Geoff Winkless]

Whuh? You said "it is a fact".

What kind of particles do you refer to?

[Geoff Winkless]

I call troll. No-one could possibly be as ill-informed or as unable to grasp the concept of an opposing argument without deliberate intention.

Of course they pay rent, going rate is upwards of £6k a year.

Quite the reverse actually, a network will look at a map of a populated area and think "why don't we have any customers here?" and the answer is "because we have no signal, let's erect a BTS".

Also, yer average vodafone BTS is good for around 6-7 miles across open ground, so that's several thousand people for you to convince to leave a network.

Ahah! The placebo effect in reverse! I'd love to have seen their faces!

various VOCs (volatile organic compounds), in common with most plasticy manufactured stuff. but the main problem seems to be PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) and PBBs (polybrominated biphenyls) - which are used as flame retardants. they've been banned by the EU for use in new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market from 1 July 2006, however, if you want to get a lungful of them now - while you still can - just take a deep breath when you're sitting in front of your computer!

for a bit more information on the reasons for this ban, have a look at:

Bless! Looks so much like a troll, I won't even bother commenting on such claptrap.

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

RF is NON ionising, which is what the tree huggers don't bother to note.

[Andy Luckman (AJL Electronics)]

That is a direct heating effect. Different altogether. You could make the same observation about touching an electric fire element.

I recommend that you actually look into the physics of RF before frightening yourself with bogeymen.
