Re: analogous to being inside a microwave said by PDXPLT:those antennas on the water tower put out only a little bit more power than the cellphone that you hold up to your ear. Most cell sites operate at powers several magnitudes higher than what your cell phone uses. Even the lowest power PCS transmitter is 20 watts and each site has several of these running. The EiRP at the antenna is several times higher. You don't want that next to your head even for a second. Back in the AMPS days, a cell phone was only three watts at full power. |
