[TowerTalk] FW: [N3SH] Cell tower questions

[Keith Dutson]

Cell towers are relatively low power.  At 1/2 mile the received power is
insignificant, likely no more than a few microwatts.  Tell your wife she
will get more radiation from her cell phone.

I have a co-worker who is considering a move to a new home.  The house he's
looking at is within a 1/2 mile of a cell tower that is approx. 75-100 ft.
His wife is raising concerns over RF exposure. 

Since I'm no expert in microwave (or any other RF subject for that matter!),
I told him that I would ask a few questions of the group.  

1. What sort of exposure would someone have at that distance?  What are
typical power numbers from cell sites?  Would there really be any
significant RF at the house's location?

2. Is there some kind of cheap way that they could take field strength
readings around the house that would give them a feel for their exposure?  I
realize that some kind of receiver would work, but they want a simple
scheme, be it something they borrow or buy, or be it from someone doing the
survey using their own equipment.

Thanks for any help.  He wants to put his wife's worries to rest fairly
soon.

Thanks,

Todd - W8LEV
