    Maybe he doesn’t like being slow-fried!

    I used to work on the AR3D at Plessey Radar, on the Isle of Wight… Surprising how often Pigeon-Pie appeared on the menu…

    If that’s a 5 G tower he’ll win this episode of Survivor claws down.

    Microwave antenna tower or high tension power lines. So hard to choose.

    well the mob has a better chance of being fried by µwaves than the lonely guy has of being electrocuted, so his technophobia seems to serve him well.

    As a couple of folks have hinted at, it’s dangerous to be in the near field of a powerful transmitter – it acts like a microwave oven.

    If Leonard Cohen had had to start his song with “Like A Bird On A Tower,” where would it have gone from there?

    Technophobe? I don’t know; it looks as though he spends a lot of his time on line.

    Is it more like electromagnetic sensitivity? I think the technophobes don’t want to learn how to use new gadgets.

    FYI: Current 5G is using the same band as 4G and is only a little faster than 4G. The ultra fast 5G is going to be using an ultra high frequency band and will not be able to pass through walls or glass. This means the cell antennas will have be located in side buildings.

    Solo bird just prefers the soothing 60 Hz hum over the 600+ MHz screech.

    For those Luddites out there: Studies have been carried out since the 1930’s to today about any dangers of RF energy. Other than the properties of microwave energy used in the ovens which, at that frequency, will heat water molecules, until you get to incredibly high power levels, no adverse effect has ever been found in humans. If it had been found you can bet the media would be trumpeting it. Bad news sells.
