While I hear all the discussions about mobile phones etc that may cause
cancer, and the fact that there are millions of users of these phones , that
children should not have them etc etc. What I cannot understand is that
we still had a high instance of cancer back in the fifties and sixties, so
what has changed, surely it cannot be the mobile phone as they were not
around at that time. Maybe it was all those amateurs at that time
transmitting SSB around the world (I don't think).
Some people (in my opinion) just want to blame anything that comes to the
fore, mobile masts are not the best looking things , so lets get then banned.
I had a terible struggle getting planning permission for my mast, I had to
appeal and evenually got it approved by the secretary of state when he
visisted my site, but all the complints I had fromothers was about it looks,
there was nothing about its radiation!!
I am not agrreeing or disagreeing with the trend to dismantle masts, but we
don't seeen to have an agreed solution as to wheather it does not does not
cause cancer.
We live such a short life anyway, so whats wrong with a little give and take,
there's precious little of it out there these days.
Lets live dangerously at least until it proved beyond doubt!
otherwise are we all going to turn off our radios and TV's that shove
kilowatts out into the air!
