    Ugh...

    I had this conversation with a fellow here at work about the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation... Had to explain the differences, and how RF is non-ionizing radiation, and for all intents and purposes, safe to be around.

    But, as an aside, those kids looks miserable. The moms should be more concerned about why their kids are depressed, rather than cell phone towers.

    2 options , I reckon . Go with microcell service , distributed on utility poles throughout the community , or , shut down service to the town in question , 'til the ordinance is repealed . In reality , it'll be a court and PR fight . If they really want to see the true colors , and bust the excuses , put 'em IN the churches , using antennas hidden in a steeple , like many communities do .
    I won't question your Creator's wisdom , but you are responsible for your own actions .

    Oh the lulz... I've had to deal with so much NIMBY crap with towers over the years. It's ridiculous. People are retarded. More later...

    They want decent coverage but they also want to be rid of all those transmitters that appear "in front of our homes overnight" (their emphasis), and "emit radiation 800 feet in every direction".
    They want to have their cake and eat it to.

    Schmucks.

    I think the cell company should just shut it all off in that town for a few days and see how much they don't want towers after that.

    Towers are quite attractive examples of RF sculpture.

    We've got a number of these around here:



    It's surprising how well they work to camouflage the fact that they're actually cell phone towers.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    No, I don't have to love 'em. I'd prefer to wipe them from the face of the planet for the knuckle-dragging idiots they are.
