ALT: Wireless FAQ

My cell is emergency call pickup ONLY, and is a unique and irreplacble
artifact, for that usage. I don't know about all cell phones, however,
every cell phone I have ever tested ( dozens) EXCEED ( former) United
States Federal electomagnetic radio emmision standards, which is/was
approx. 30 milli-gauss. 30 is/was considered extreamly dangerous for
short term exposure. My personal understanding of electromagnetic
radiation sickness is that it is almost impossible to diagnose
correctly because of systemic failure of the human body. Simply, the
result is an /uncurable/ illness that results in tumors, strokes ( cell
pohones in particular) and, unfortunately, deaths that is/are not
attributed to electromagnetic radiation sickness. Maybe consider some
counter point to your presumption of cell phones are "absolutely safe."


Don't bet your life or the life of your spouse and children, until YOU
KNOW THE FACTS. The type of dynamic intense radiation field emited by
every cell phone I have tested is a dangerous gamble, each and every
TRANSMIT.

Horse****. Not far from your home is a 316,000 watt VHF TV station, a
25,000,000 watt UHF TV station, up to a 50,000 watt AM radio station, up to
a 100,000 watt FM radio station, paging transmitters running ERPs into the
multikilowatt ranges on VHF and UHF. Are you near an airport? With their
megawatt microwave radar transmitters? Near any military? Their running
multi-megawatt troposcatter phone transmitters.

A friend of mine died a couple of years ago. His name was Linwood Sikes,
amateur radio call N4LS. Linwood was in his 90's. Since he was a boy,
around World War I when radio came into its own, Linwood was an amateur
radio operator (a "ham", the nickname for Hiram Maxim who started the
Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) back in the teens). Being a ham, Linwood
had been exposed to high powered transmitters, right in his home, all his
life. I have since I got my license in 1957. I was 11. Linwood died in
his 90s of old age. He also put the first radio station in Charleston on
the air, traveled around the country for airlines putting them on the air
("Alameda calling China Clipper" from the movies). Linwood, after WW2,
opened Sikes Radio Company, our local Motorola 2-way radio company his son
still runs today. He was a broadcast engineer exposed to a multitude of
radio and television transmitters, most of which back in the "old days"
didn't even have a cabinet on them, to say nothing of some kind of RF
shielding. Linwood died of old age in his 90's.

Sitting on my desk is a vhf/uhf walkie talkie I've used on the ham bands
for 20+ years. It runs 7w on VHF and 5W on UHF. I hold it right up in
front of my face and talk into the microphone. There's a 1,500 watt ham
radio station on the desk whos antenna is right over the top of me. If I
key it with this computer on, it trashes the computer at full power. Does
your phone with its puny .2 watt transmitter? Of course not...no power!
Hell, the cell has trouble hearing that peanut whistle! Go to my webpage
on qrz.com. Browse to http://www.qrz.com/ and in the little callsign box
enter W4CSC, my ham radio call. My ugly picture comes up grossing everyone
out, but look at it anyway. See that little 300,000v ceramic insulator in
my hand? It exploded right over my head when hit with 70,000 watts near 7
Mhz from a pirate radio ship the FCC finally confiscated here in
Charleston. Too much RF voltage. It was part of the feed through
insulator that fed the 70KW RF through the hatch to a T antenna between two
towers welded to the deck. Fed with unterminated open wire feeders from an
old Voice Of America transmitter in the hold.
(http://hawkins.pair.com/voanc/voanc07.jpg is the actual image address of
this transmitter.) Everything in the compartment glowed an eerie blue from
the power present that didn't make it up this insulator. Me, too! Totally
cool...(c; I was just a guest of the ship's captain during the test. The
ship belonged to a nutcase, Rev Stair of Overcomer Ministeries in
Walterboro, SC, you can hear on short wave every night. Hold your wallet
and visit http://www.overcomerministry.org/ He talks directly to God!...(c;

Most people have never seen a serious broadcast beast that's frying their
brains. Go to Jim Hawkins' broadcast museum and have a look around:
http://hawkins.pair.com/radio.html
It's the finest broadcast transmitter site on the net. The VOA runs
500,000 watts from Ohio and Greenville, NC. I've been to NC to tour it.
Amazing power since WW2.

I'm still alive and nothing seems fried. I'm 60 in January if I survive my
V60i's intermittent pulse transmissions...(c;

Now, let's talk about the REAL reason for all this panic.....M-O-N-E-Y!

Back in the AMPS days, cellular phones ran 3 watts of power on 800 Mhz and
noone got fried. The brick handhelds ran 600 mw because they wanted the
little batteries of the day to last longer than 15 minutes..not much
longer, but longer than 15 minutes. They sucked because the system was
incomplete at worst and setup for 3w car antenna transmitters with towers
10 miles apart. Then cellular exploded in popularity. In cities, you
could hardly use it because the system was totally overloaded, even at
$1.50/minute! The solution? Closer spaced cells with much lower antennas
(100') that didn't have the range of the 500' AMPS beasts of old. You may
still see some 500' cellphone towers around your neighborhood but now with
antennas way down the tower, not at the top. The new antenna panels,
you'll note, actually point DOWN at an angle, to keep them from hearing the
phones in the next cells over from them. Take a look. Every cell sector
has several hundred channels on them. There's 3 sectors on each cell 120
degrees apart. (See the three panel arrays pointing in different
directions?) More, lower powered, lower down cells meant that many extra
"channels per square mile" that could be running up those minute meters.
The companies kept building in cities making fat revenues from all the
minute meters per square mile clicking away.

But, alas, those 3W cars, in spite of how we pointed the panels, kept
occupying way too many cell sectors every time they went on the air. You
were talking on this cell, but were jamming that channel on 8 other cells
we could be makin' money off of at the same time. The solution? Dump
mobile cellphones and bagphones with 3W transmitters and come out with a
much smaller phone called the "flip phone", an AMPS phone with a 600 mw
(.6w) transmitter. It sold like hotcakes to bagphone users luggin' around
the high powered monsters or to people who had to leave their phone access
in their cars. The flip phones had poorer antennas, too, which helped
reduce their range to only a couple of cells. The buildout continued as
the complaints of dead zones kept rollin' in. 3 miles from a tower, flip
phones sucked. In the country where towers were 10 miles apart, they
really sucked. Sales dropped off and bagphones were put back on the air.

Then came "digital". Around the time of digital, a propaganda campaign
rivalling The Third Reich's was instigated. "Cellphones are terribly
dangerous and will fry your brains, cause you cancer, your eyeballs will
fall out!" Isn't that convenient?! Just when we're gonna sell 'em all new
digital phones that will let us put 24 people on each sector channel, we'll
convince them those awful "high-powered" phones are just frying the kids!
The paid hacks lined up to tell you how dangerous your tiny 600 mw flip
phone that never killed anyone was. The gullible, stupid public, as usual,
bought it hook line and sinker. So, we came out with a SAFER, more
profitable transmitter that only put out 300 mw....then 200 mw....now 150
mw...or less in the future. Because the tiny transmitters only have a
range of about a mile or so, OUTSIDE in the clear, more towers, more cells,
more sectors-per-square-mile were erected, only in the cities and along
major roads connecting them, the Interstates. Now with 24 users per
channel, with transmitter powers the COMPANY controls with CDMA's data, we
can turn 'em down to just a few milliwatts so they only hit one or two
sectors, and only then in the overlap between two minicells.

Revenue per square mile couldn't be better! We can even drop the prices on
minutes because our competitors did.

An we lived happily.....and safe from those big 3w transmitters....ever
after.....(c;.....er, ah, unless you wanna use your phone inside a building
2 miles from the nearest cell....(d^

The current knowledge about cancer says that two conditions are
necessary. One is a genetic predisposition and two is some enviromental
condition to "turn it on". That is the reason why you can have a
population that may be exposed to paint thinner for example and only a
few will get liver cancer. The ones that didn't did not have the
predisposition. Your arguement represents only a sample size of one and
is very similar to "my grandpa smoked 8 packs/day and lived to 97 and
didn't get cancer". Possibly interesting but should you bet that you had
the exact genes that grandpa had?

I see the problem. Cell companies should revert back to a business model
where they can only service a few hundred customers in a market and not
use effective lower power systems that allow frequency reuse/more users
and lower power equipment that may be safer, compact and has longer
battery life.

But the problem with that is I know THOUSANDS of hams, people who do 12
hour shifts at major broadcast transmitters, in fields so strong they can't
turn the flourescent lights in the building OFF with the transmitters
on....None of them are fried. Some of these people have been doing it for
50 years! Are they all some magic gene pool? Nonsense....same crap as the
Freon 12 in your car....it's about money.

As to the snide remark about the ham bands being around cellphone's magic-
cooking frequency...that's more smokin' nonsense. The UHF TV transmitters
are thousands of times more powerful, and those engineers that sit there
aren't killed by the RF leaking out of it. The old guys were eradiated
like hell. They were in more danger driving TO the transmitter than
sitting for 60 hours a week for 30 years in front of it.

If what you say is so, we need to shut down every high powered RF source in
the countries....to protect us. Your measily milliwatt cellphone at 6"
isn't nearly as intense as Rock 96 FM's blowtorch just down the street.

The air is polluted with Jet engines and power plants, not R-12 leaking
from the old Ford. You have just about as much chance of shutting down
Rock 96's 100KW transmitter as you do that 747 dumping its engine crap on
your kids.....

It's always the CONSUMER's stuff that produces all the pollution, air or
RF....bull****.

Having spent twentyfive years in broadcast engineering and two-way radio
service, and thirtyseven years in amateur radio, I can confirm Larry's (OP)
observations of the participants. Non-ionizing RF doesn't matter, but watch
out for heating effects at the higher frequencies and powers.

not to mention, obesity and hairloss.

1 milli-gauss was/is considered marginally dangerous ( according to the
documentation that came with my testers, the test equipment is designed
for assuring compliance with Federal law. Three meters altogether, two
with identical sensitivity and the third dampened by about three
milli-gauss. One of the two with identical sensitivity, I call "Bugs
Bunny" for no reason.

I have used these devices for about twelve years. I have tested
electronic equipment, TVs, Home and industrial electric motors, power
lines, lighting systems, generators, power inverters and converters, an
industrial laser ...

OK

A standard household light bulb emits about 1 milli-gauss at 1/2 inch.

TVs and computer monitors can measure a wide variety of patterns. I
had a TV in the living room of my house that seemed OK, I measured a 30
milli-gauss field extending about two feet in front of the TV, what
supprised me was that a steady/strong 30 milli-gauss field was cutting
thru the edge of the toilet behind the wall of the TV ( a built in
entertainment center location).

I purchased a motor home from a RV 'lifer', well, until his wife died.
He wasn't interested in keeping their home any further, and offered the
RV for sale thru his dealership. I detected a 30 milli-gauss field
extending several feet thru the lower cabin single bed. He slept in
the loft.

About two and 1/2 feet away from a 30 amp main power line, I read 30
milli-gauss.

There are two different types of spikes from a cell phone, from the
transmitter and from the load speaker, both typically 30 milli-gauss
extending from the phone for five to seven inches, during transmit and
from the speaker ( during recieve).

For example, the phone I currently am holding in my hand, ( name brands
withheld)
1) emits a 30 milli-gauss field, at zero inches at the ear piece after
a full power on; the ear piece field drops to 1 milli-gauss at a
distance of one inch.
2) every where else the phone meters about 1 milli-gause at zero inches
with power-on.
3) emits a stong and steady 30 milli-gauss field extending about three
inches during talk, with two types of em radiation, the transmitter AND
the ear piece locations, and ( very) variable 30 milli-gauss field out
to six inches.

.... ( insert long list of consumer and commercial tests)

The field strength meter's detect electromagnetic field strength
/differentials/ as sampled using the 'normal' environment noise.

About fifteen feet below a power transformer, I can detect a 1 to 2
milli-gauss field, a few feet more then I can not detect any filed
differential.

Your turn.

Interesting that the State of Minnesota says no such standard exists:

"Currently there are no federal or state health-based exposure standards
for magnetic fields. This is due to the fact that there is inadequate
scientific evidence to develop a health-based standard. References to
safe/unsafe magnetic field levels in studies are not health-based
standards; they are arbitrary exposure cut off points used by
researchers, and they provide no scientific basis to evaluate or
estimate potential health risks.

While there is currently no "safe" level determined for EMF, people may
obtain measurements in their home and use information about typical
magnetic field exposures to determine if their exposures are likely to
be higher than, comparable to, or lower than the levels in other
residential settings."

If they had standards for magnetic and electric fields, powerful lobby
power companies would be forced to bury the 1925 electric system in the
USA. Unlike the developed countries of Europe, our AC power system still
hangs on old wooden poles just like it did back then. The fields produced
by it all account for a loss of 1/3 of the power generated from leakage.

We just raise power rates to make up for the losses....

You know you've had a rough night when you wake up and your outlined in
chalk.

This has marginal interest to maybe one person, but I found these 6 Kyocera
t-shirts, and they were really Kool. As I'm a fan of the phones, there must
be a geek or two, that can't live without a Kyocera t-shirt. If you hate
the phone, you probably won't like the shirt either.

Well, now that you know I'm selling something it is on ebay. Don't follow
the link if you don't want to see it. But the shirt is surprisingly kool, I
thought so. Any size, any color as long as it is XL and white. I only have
the ones show. Sorry to be a bother, but I did tell you I was selling em.
