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.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Just the one near us at the side of the old Church con.Saw this a while ago as i walk past it every day & thought it was somekind of phone transmitter.Needless to say this being Church they have'nt even bothered to disguise it:rolleyes:

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

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

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Its also out of date, According to that site the Orange mast near me is GSM only. Its been UTMS enabled for well over 2 years

Re: Disguised mobile 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. :eek:

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. :eek:

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

aye but look at the signal strength meter on your phone!!!

:D

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I have one just over 100 metres behind my house.... but then I knew that before I looked

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

2 near me in the hillside can see them anyways funny when theres a storm thats where the lightening springs down to - yup i dont have problems with signals:D

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

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
 

dont honestly know where any of em are, care even less,:p

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

but what about all those TV radio waves that have been frying our brains slowly for teh last 50+ years!!

Wifi = microwave
Mobile masts = Deep Fryer
TV = Slow Cooker


:D

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

That explains why us Silver Surfers find many of the younger generation odd - our brains werent cooked during development :D

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

If you mobile phone users want to continue using your new toys you will have to put up with the masts.

Disguising them so that they blend into the surroundings seems like a good idea to me.

But progress has decreed that wifi came into being and that is more scary. Not so much from any perceived radiation, which there is, but from the uses it can be put to.

I heard on the jolly old wireless the other day that a university is considering bathing the whole campus in wifi so that they can keep track of the students. Presumably the photo ID card will have a chip in it. The reason behind this intention was that in the case of an emergency or a fire the position of each student would be known.

Now let me see when was the last time that a university had an emergency or a fire?

How long before the whole country is swamped in wifi and we will all be forced to carry an ID card just so that the powers can be can tell who is where and when?

BEWARE for Big Brother is forever getting closer and closer.

Goodness me, that is complete and utter snake oil.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I am going to 'snipe' one at less than a tenner (hopefully) - worth a try.
I do know that my health has gone downhill rapidly in the 4 years I've lived here - might just be old age, but less than a tenner is worth the chance that it might do me some good (clutching at straws ?)

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

So you trust a company that can't even count to 3?

Err, thats two in my book

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I have read their website too - I am a meanie -I research before I even spend a penny (hmm - tenner). There is also an article about them on the 'Bad Science' website.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I dont consume any food additives - make my own bread, biscuits and cakes to avoid transfats, drink filtered water, make my own yogurt and never eat ready meals, buy mostly organic and eat home cooked food without microwaves --
I should be fighting fit shouldnt I? :D

Maybe it's the post health food cigarette, you're having after your meal?:D:D

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

LOL - As Mrs Fawlty would say "I knooow"
Zyban brought me out in lumps - patches gave me itchy blotches.
I am trying !!! (but then you gathered that already :D )

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

To think for the past few years I blamed the petrochemical industry and now after looking at the site its those blasted masts irradiating what bit of grey matter that still works. :(

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

They have to put them up some were its like mobil,s phones,computer,s the world is changing very quickly with the things we have to day so we put up with it are not thats the way things are.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Maybe the changes going on are too fast for most. The way things are going we will have more technology outside than inside and thats getting scary.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Technology has brought many advantages, without pushing the boundaries of science and tech we would still be living in caves and the like, its by peoples inbuilt desire to move on that we live such a comfortable and relatively easy life now.

100 years ago I would have been sent down the pit and would probably have been dead before I reached the age I have. Science and technology has changed all that. It is also always going to be an exponential progression curve because as we learn one more thing it adds value to everything that went before. Most things are good, some get twisted into something bad.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Apparently this 'easy life' has also made us vastly obese. I read the other day, as a nation, we were far healthier under rationing.

Also children have never been as inactive, playing out less, as well as playing less sport. Though I'm not suggesting sending them up chimneys, or down the pit, as a quick fix to remedy this.:D

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

Not a bad idea for some of them though Rindy !

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I hope your talking about yourself lard arse :p:D:D:D:D
I have to work hard to stay the shape I am.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

On the radio yesterday morning they are blaming Microwave ovens, err as was pointed out by the DJ, Its what you put IN them that matters :D

I bet the country was less obese, healthier I doubt it as kids were still suffering from many dieses that we have erradicated.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I'm not talking about the poverty of Victorian times, but the '40's and '50's, when we had rationing.

Nutritionists compared our diet of today, with that of sixty years ago, and found the latter to be much more the healthier option.

Limited fat, very limited sugar, high fibre/low protein, lots of vegetables, and of course not as many preservatives as we have today, were our 'fresh' food is shipped thousands of miles, and so needs artifical preservatives to survive the journey.

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

I'd agree about all the processed stuff and additives, I persoanlly reckon its this coupled with the massive increase in carbohydrate in our diet. Mix that with a much more sedentary lifestyle now is the real reason for our increasing obesity

Re: Disguised mobile phone masts
 

A major problem in the 40's and 50's (I lived through it) was air pollution. All the terraced houses (there were far more of them then) burnt coal. There were numerous mill chimneys all belching out smoke too. In winter when everybody needed to heat their homes a short walk outside resulted in soot specks on your face -ladies carried powder compacts to conceal the muck.

On the day after bonfire night you didn't stir out unless you absolutely had to because of thick smog that lasted all day if not longer.In London the smog spells were frequent and notorious for causing deaths. Burnley geographically is in a basin and had the highest rates of suicide because they rarely saw the sun in winter, and a shorter life expectancy due to lung disease (partly due to 'miners lung').

Cigarette smoking was fashionable and accepted because we were not aware that the smoke pollution was damaging.The Smoke Control Act came in the early 60's. Coal was replaced by coke which still gave off fumes but not smoke. Eventually gas and electric fires were used and even later - central heating.

We have now replaced one sort of air pollution with others-
vehicle exhaust fumes (known to be damaging- vehicle ownership was rare in the 40s & 50s) and these high tech microwave and radio emissions ,which we are not sure about ..............YET!!!!.
