Please, particularly for those of us for whom 10 metres antenna separation 
from residential property is an unattainable luxury.

Several of the blocks of flats on this estate have 1.2kW GSM transmitters no 
more than 3 metres above the top floor dwellings.  If a rare cancer cluster 
appears here, I'll let you all know, but the best current scientific 
evidence is that that is not going to do anyone a button of harm and 1.5 kW 
of HF certainly won't.  Leaky computer mouse cables, unshielded hi-fi 
speaker leads, crappy wideband TV amps, yes, but people, no.

If we aren't capable of sorting hysteria out from fact then how do we expect 
Joe Public to?  It's difficult enough being an urban amateur already, thank 
you very much.
