Bad Reception: The Wireless Revolution in San Francisco

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.

Go to cloutnow . org to protest. EMF IS LETHAL.

it isn't just san fran. i am in another west coast city, another state, and i am suffering from some kind of wifi. satellite tv, or cell phone transmissions coming into my home. they are high pitched audible. as i do have excellent hearing, but not everyone can hear them.

this is a serious health threat, the whole picture: do you really think san fran should become a ghost town , that is your rationale (just move away).

It never existed a few years ago. We were fine without it all.

The inverse square law isn't the only operative variable here. For a discussion of how the Extremely Low Frequency pulsed modulations used by digital wireless networks, which are independent of power density levels, may also be having an impact on human health and the environment, see the following articles from The Lancet and Scientific American:

Mayven,according to your "education", wireless technology can be made safer by using cables. This is just a glorified old fashioned "telephone"; nothing cutting edge other than replacing copper with optics. Fact is, radiation is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, and users face far more potential harm from phones against the side of their face than they do from cell phone base stations. People are free to use telephones. This is a fake controversey.

ScadaTom - you need to educate yourself. go to a google video and after docid= at the end put in this # 6993793872177345353 -- discusses how wireless technology CAN be made 99.9% safer for everyone and why it is so important. You are falling for the cell industry PR. Billions of dollars are at stake and too much is being kept from the public to protect their profits.

This may seem insensitive, but it seems to me that if you want to avoid RF radiation in the 21st century, you really have to question why you choose to live in what is one of the most densely populated urban areaa in the United States. Those low power transmitters you're targeting are really the least of your problems from a perspective of electromagnetic radiation.
