Disguised mobile phone masts

Some people have concerns about wave transmissions (including me).
I have been websearching (what all retired folks have time for )
and I have found this site
'Sitefinder' Mobile Phone Base Station Database
Here you can find out on a map exactly where every phone mast is and its spec. So that 'funny looking tree' or 'totem pole' at the end of your road might be a mast - here you find out.

I have found 3 masts within 300 metres from me - only one was visible.
I am still undecided whether this should give me cause for concern. My websearching is ongoing.
Meanwhile I have been researching 'counter measures' which I could use if I decided there is a health hazard and found this-
QLink - Homepage
but at £70 a go - needs careful thought.

I am posting this because we citizens have the right to know where they are and what sort/volume are the transmissions. Some of you are experts on radio transmissions -I'm not - but hope that those of you who are will take a look at the masts in our town, and offer their opinions/advice.

Never mind, the windmills will soon dissipate any harmful radiation.

There are a couple in that no mans' land kind of area between Chester St and the old Springhill school. Those are the nearest to me.
Lot of people much nearer to them than I am.



There was a prog on TV a little while ago which showed far more emissions from wifi equipment than from phone masts.

Are you sure the windmills are not going to have a mast or 2 hidden in them? Besides they might be a gov plot to scramble our brains boosting the signal.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts

I thought there was only 2 in Grangemouth but there are 8 in the town within a mile of me and 13 within a mile and a half. These things are springing up faster than speed cameras and cctv.

Yeh and its scary very scary. Yet I didnt expect so many so they need quite a few to keep a strong signal which means its the number of masts that causes the so called radiation problem not an individual masts.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts

Done some more browsing - found 'Freiburger Appeal' (german doctors) which led me to our own docs -
Mast Sanity - Clusters

this is getting scary - I will see if I can get one of those Q link pendants on ebay.
This is the article in todays Indepensant which started me off on this topic
