thanks for your acknowledgement. I didn't expect one, with this charade!
Pardon my (all our) cynicism, but we do know exactly what you will find. I gather that Worthing Borough Council has asked for an audit of the site, and I'm not sure whether it is the number of complaints or their request that brings you down here. I hope your chaps enjoy their day; Worthing was a nice place before Tetra.
I wonder if the team would care to stand near the mast for a while and see who gets a headache? Maybe none of your team will be sensitive, but I know lots of people around here who are. That would be worth much more than your dipoles and measuring instruments.
All the instruments will find is that O2 Airwave is operating according to their licence. You will detect that overall there is a fair amount of microwave energy going through our homes, since there is a proliferation of masts at this site. It would be really useful if you could (as we have done) measure and document the 17.6 Hz pulse (see our web page), since the Home Office insists that this is not the case and O2 Airwave only carelessly admit to it (eg in recent planning applications!).
We aren't primarily concerned about the proliferation of mobile phone masts. We ARE seriously miffed that no-one will take responsibility for wrecking our TV reception, stopping vital baby alarms working and interfering with electrical equipment – even though it is as plain as can be that the cause is the arrival of TETRA. It is socially completely unacceptable. Moreover, those who have given in to the bullying O2 and had TV filters fitted, often find they don't work.
We are, however, very VERY concerned because this mast is making us ill. It is here without our consultation and without our consent, and is filling our homes with beta-wave frequency pulsed EMR. That used to be a cold war weapons idea, only it was too risky. If it isn't weapons grade, it is at least gradually wearing down our immune systems, day by day, at the very least. I and a number of other people have not had a normal night's sleep, for example, since it was switched on on February 26. Sleep deprivation is a torture technique in some undesirable regimes.
What can we do when O2 Airwave effectively calls us hypochondriac idiots and the Home Office effectively tells us we are imagining it all? Well, along comes Ofcom and says everything is OK.
Am I just a cynic? Are you just another group of people who refuse to acknowledge what this transmission device is doing to our brains and bodies, now and every day since 26 February?
I do hope you don't just wring your hands and say "nothing to do with us" or "we're not qualified to say", because that would be ethical cowardice and derogation of humanitarian conscience.
yours, hoping desperately for someone with the guts to start asking serious questions about this technology,
Andy Davidson
