Anti Cell Phone Antenna Demonstration, San Francisco

Excerpt from the film "Bad Reception: The Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" (2003)

For more information, see www.antennafreeunion.org

Exploring the dangers of microwave radiation used by cellular phones, cellular antennas, and other new wireless technologies, "Bad Reception: The Wireless Revolution in San Francisco" tells the compelling story of residents from backgrounds as diverse as the city itself taking to the streets and taking on City Hall to protest the politically powerful and poorly regulated wireless industry.

"Though there are triumphs recorded here, including an emotional victory over a proposed antenna in the upper Fillmore, 'Bad Reception' ... ominously hints that the fight is far from over." -- San Francisco Bay Guardian.

You have not the first idea of the basic concepts of radiation, electromagnetics, the inverse square law, the health effects of rf fields on humans.

This is just ridiculous. The antennas not only provide income for the community through leasing, they also provide better service. Yes, this makes a profit for the cell companies. It also benefits the customer. More antennas also benefit public safety with a more robust network in an emergency

[SNAntennaFreeUnion]

Actually, DrBuzz0, we do have some knowledge of the issues you mention, apparently considerably more than you do, which is why we organized this demonstration and others like it.

[strathmeyer]

Then why don't you pass that knowledge on to other people? Either you're evil for keeping it to yourself, or don't have it.

strathmeyer: What do you think the purpose of this clip, the demonstration it documents, and the complete documentary film from which it was drawn is? To keep this knowledge under wraps? Have you visited the website listed along with this clip in the section 'About This Video'? There's plenty of information collected there if you would take the time to look.

wow.... really people? You get more radiation from the sun doing that then cell phones lol There are many amateur radio operators that have done fine with all of there equipment that are very similar to cell based ant and amateur radio uses way more power. Its nothing new or all mighty.

ROFL this is entertaining, reminds me of the time when an old lady outside the iPhone store was talking shizz about the government using them to brainwash us. xD

[VideoGuyNC]

Protest by NOT buying the damn phones/radio transmitters. They won't build them if you don't buy the phones.

bitch i want my cellphone to work put more fucking antennas

@1mayven

Do you actually have any scientific *PROOF* that a specific wavelength of EM radiation has adverse health effects? Did you know that this frequency is near that of HAM radio which has been around for years? Did you know that it is many an order of magnitude below the Terahertz band of EM radiation that you get dosed with every day? Did you know it is a similar band to UHF TV stations? Did you know it is BELOW the water absorption spectrum?

Please, get some proof and get back to us.

@SNAntennaFreeUnion

I seriously doubt you do actually. You cite only partial facts about the electromagnetic spectrum. You obviously have no problem with the high amount of EM radiation given off by the SUN as shown in these videos - which far outstrips those antennas. 75 Microwatts of non-ionizing radiation? This is the same protest that was against Radio when it first came out. It is absurd.

So what about the purpose. Do you read physics, I do. I know what's going on. Why don't you read about microwaves and the affect they have on the components of the atmosphere, most notably oxygen, then while your at it, let me know if you've figured out what "absorption" means. Then you and I can talk, because otherwise your just looking at the behavior of people and not science, that doesn't prove anything about the issue at hand.
