Beware Of Cellphone Masts & Power Lines

[Trevor]

I just spent 8 days at a hotel in Buriram sitting long hours at my laptop a mere 2.5 metres away from 20-ply power cables on cement poles outside the window. Frequently felt tired and couldn't think straight. Same thing if near a cellular telephone transmitting mast. I use a clip-on air-tube earpiece with my mobile phone, otherwise I can feel the radiation cooking my brain if I hold it directly to my head.

In the West, power cables go underground in urban areas, and there is strict zoning on cellmasts. No such luck in Thailand. Anyone else suffer problems? It is an important health consideration when staying in a hotel or choosing a residence.

Hi

If you use that earpiece, be sure not to keep your phone clipped to your belt or, worse, keep it in your pocket - it boils your balls and you'll suffer impotence within minutes

Now we have the "harmful electromagnetic waves" panickers in Thailand already.... HELP!!!!

(I wonder how my grandfather could become 84 years old, having worked half his live as a telecommunications engineer ON LIVE ANTENNAS of radio stations - with hundreds of KILOwatts HF going right thru him........ Oh, forgot, back then nobody knew about the "danger" of such waves and that's why nobody ever got sick from them........)

Use a Hutch phone, mate, they're CDMA and as you can easily research on the 'net, the max. output power of a CDMA handphone is a mere 0.25 watts as opposed to max. 2.0 watts on a GSM, and Hutch is on 800 MHz which is less "dangerous" than the 900 or even 1,800 MHz of the thai GSM networks.

in the west some cables in town run underground - not to protect the population from the electromagnetic field, but to protect cables from being accidently torned and it's easier to conserve them under the ground than overground.

bad effect of electromagnetic field on humans is known for long - that's why high voltage cables can't run over the houses and in their nearest vicinity.

the earpiece conducts more radiation to your brain (through the wire) than holding your mobile next to your head - myself I use loudspeaker on my mobile phone, so I can talk on the phone while doing something else

i saw it coming and it still made me laugh out loud.

i was hoping for a published study, instead i get the opinion of a confused, tired guy with a headache. Good enough for me i say.

DOING SOMETHING ELSE?? like driving your car operating a chainsaw maybe???

I Frequently felt tired and couldn't think straight.

Thats it !!!!!

That describes my wife exactly; I always put it down to her being Thai and female

Great info. you get from Thai Visa

You know why there is strict zoning on cellmasts - cos there so freakin' ugly!! No one wants them near there house or let alone town.

Really though you should go to the local research lab and tell them about your ability to feel radiation in your brain!! I am sure they'll be very interested . ... . or just burst out laughing .. .. one or the other!

But haven't we just gone back in time about 7 years for this topic???? They were one about mass future brain tumours then and even though mobiles are used by nearly the entire population there still isn't any mass brain tumour deaths . .. . strange that ain't it!!

Though people do seem to be a bit dimmer than before especially the legions of suicide jockies riding along on their motorbikes with one hand cupped to their ear on their mobiles.

Trevor let me be the first to tell you that it is nothing to do with your proximity to any mast. You are a paranoid hypochondriac. You invent ilnesses to suit where you are. I have spent years working on said masts a lot closer than you will ever get. I have never suffered a days illness through being close to these masts. Also using an ear piece has no medical benifits at all. You just look a right prat if you are not driving.Like a lot of people you have bought into the MYTH!!!! Get a grip of yourself and stop blaming something for your bad days

[bendix]

This thread had me laughing out loud.

I'm confused by the notion of why putting power lines underground will be any safer. Won't that make my feet sick?

Why would someone spend long hours sat in front of a laptop in a hotel in Buriram?

Some Chlorpromazine may help you with the paranoia.

Could the above have anything to do with your being tired

maybe you should get out more .

I noticed that when I sit at my pc for a long time, I feel noticeably tired when I get up.

This doesn't happen when I get up more often.

[eek]

YES! Fantastic idea.

BUT, in this world of logo's, would be better to offer some free advertisement for our beloved TV as WELL as looking REALLY cool.

ie:

I wonder how much protection the hat would offer to a motorcylist?.. More or less same same as the regular plastic ones?

IF infused with the power of an amulate..tinfoil may prove to be an awesome force..

Take a normal floro light and walk under the 75,000Volt powerlines running inter-province. They light up like Darth Vaders sword without any connection to a power source.

Check out the problem with breast cancer at a Brisbane ABC Television office in Australia. A real death pit.

Hope you we just visiting that hotel. Move rooms. Wasn't the BuriRam nightlife by any chance!

Yeah and that very effect can nicely be used to scare un-knowing, easy-to-panic folks half to death! But you know what? Hey i was a CB radio operator back in Germany and when you held one of those ordinary 36-Watt flourescent tubes on the end of my mobile (car!) CB antenna (standing wave ratio exactly adjusted so that the max. output was at the very tip of the rod), the tube would light up "like Darth Vader's Sword" as soon as i pushed the mike.... and mind you, my CB rig had the legal, brutal power of FOUR WATTS and was running 27 MHz.

Oh, and when you held the tip of the antenna in your hand while i keyed the mike, it didn't actually fry you to death in an instant..... but the other station would receive my signal an S-step weaker and i would ask you to get the f*** away from my rod!

Oh well i think i must start believing in the harmful waves...... as more and more people are talking about it, there must be some truth........ by the way did you hear that the martians have landed? Somewhere near Prathunam, last night. A spaceship was seen briefly. Currently thai immigration police are seeking them to check their visas.............

Best regards
