Build it, don’t turn it on, watch all the residents complain about new ailments and conditions caused by the 5G.
Reveal that it’s never even been powered to really hammer home their ignorant bullshit.
The cognitively impaired should not be able to do this sort of shit.
Ahhh more “health” quacks, I wonder if they also believe the COVID vaccines have 5g chips in them.
The town felt the residents would be ‘unsafe’ due to radio frequencies and rejected the company’s notion of building the tower on the land.
$5 says when they build it anyway everyone starts complaining about health problems, then they say they haven’t even turned it on yet
They’ve definitely done that before, dunno if it was deliberately. They must have somewhat of an idea how long it takes for nocebo to kick in with the local village idiots, if it’s short enough it could actually be a rather good idea to make waiting a bit a general policy. Tank some mild capital and opportunity cost to prevent having to battle in court and the town newspaper? Sounds like a win to me.
Ackshually, being too close to high power radio frequencies isn’t safe. I remember at one base I was stationed at in Afghanistan, there was a smoke spot we all used to take breaks at. For some reason, I started developing really bad headaches and feeling kind of nauseous. I figured I was just acclimating to the local climate or something. After a few weeks, I was up on our building installing one of our satcom dishes on top of it when I noticed something. Right on the other side of the fence of that smoke area, was a ~2m high powered dish pointing just above above where the smoke area was. I pointed this out to the Norwegians that ran the camp and the break area was promptly moved, lol.
But seriously, I do not understand the anti-5G nutters.
Hell the high power WiFi equipment‡ I installed at my Grandma’s house had warnings about keeping a few feet clear of it when powered on due to health concerns and that’s just WiFi equipment. I can’t imagine the dosage of gnarly from a 2m powered dish.
‡ I installed that equipment because she wanted WiFi on all 10 acres of her property and she didn’t want me to install more stations around her property. Now she has the broadcast equipment in her garage with a tape line on the floor like it’s a Goddamned radiation research facility lol
Yeesh, I didn’t even know there were consumer grade WiFi transceivers that were strong enough to cover such a massive area. Was it a small farm or just a big property? That had to have been a pretty expensive WiFi system regardless. Did you use Ubiquiti directional access points or something?
I have a sister that runs a small family farm and she asked my brothers and me (3 of us have IT backgrounds/careers) for viable coverage solutions to their various livestock areas. We settled on just running copper to one barn from her house and broadcasting from there with a few repeaters equipped with trunk channels in order to maintain full duplex.
It’s a small farm and yeah it’s Ubiquiti hardware though I don’t think they sell it anymore. The last time I looked through their website I couldn’t find it again.
Though here’s the Amazon link
Basically this thing is located on one end of the property and on the other end there’s a nano station hooked up to a router because there was still a WiFi dead zone that she wanted covered. But given that that spot was inside a metal barn on the otherside of another metal barn I wasn’t surprised.
Does it work? I’d be surprised her phone can transmit loud enough to reach the base station.
It works great
Literally able to us the WiFi in a metal barn 50 yards away on the otherside of a garage
It doesn’t faff about
Mowing the field at her place my phone will stay connected to the WiFi basically the whole time, the only WiFi blind spot that I had to fix was on the far side of her property where there’s 2 metal barns, a garage, and a wall of her house between you and the broadcast equipment.
FCC already has regulations on maximum power. These emitters are usually dozens of feet off the ground as well.
Lol don’t tell them about all the radio frequencies around them all the time
I wonder what they must think of telecommunication satellites.
The space rays are making me sick!
TBF, space rays make a lot of people sick. Skin cancer from UV rays.
Those must be the Jewish space lasers Dipshit was talking about.
Or the EMF generators they carry around with them in their pockets, A.K.A their phones.
Which ironically, would also have less emf if they allowed the tower to be built, as is they’ll have higher emf and less battery life, since the radios will have to transmit at a higher power to get a good enough snr to next closest tower in their cell.
Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.
Do you remember when people started selling faraday cages to “safeguard” people’s routers? So funny lol
Mad lads out there.
A buddy of mine had this idea for an anti-ghost device we could make and sell. It spins, lights up, has random ancient writing on it, vibrates, and makes a small amount of radio distortion on the AM band for a second to let you know it’s working.
Been considering it.
Jesus, an entire town falling for unscientific bullshit.
It’s also not like they’re going to point the antennas straight down at the school. They have directionality. I bet not one RF engineer was consulted.
I’d like to walk these people through the school with an inductive amplifier probe and let them hear the 60hz hum and its harmonics permeating every hallway and classroom.
The planning board’s decision was based on health concerns due to the possible negative environmental impact of telecommunication on the residents, especially the children studying at the school who could potentially be exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
Because that surely would be the only cell tower in town.
Oh no, not electromagnetism! Someone tell these dipshits we live on a gigantic magnet
This is hilarious, a win-win in my book. I get to laugh at the ridiculous claim about radio waves frying people’s brains or whatever, and at the same time, every day of stalling hurts an exploitive POS telecom company.
I’m rooting for the loonies! Protect our kids! You show those lizard people!

I mean, I think that the planning board is idiotic, but I don’t see why T-Mobile cares enough to fight it. If they don’t build it, okay. It looks like the school in question is right in the middle of town. Then Wanaque is going to have crummy cell coverage. Let them have bad cell coverage and build a tower somewhere else. It’s not like this is the world’s only place that could use better cell coverage. The main people who benefit from the coverage are Wanaque residents. Sure, okay, there’s some secondary benefit to travelers, but if we get to the point that all the dead zones that travelers pass through out there are covered, then cell providers can go worry about places that are determined not to have have cell coverage.
If I were cell companies, I’d just get together with the rest of the industry and start publishing a coverage score for cities for cell coverage. Put it online in some accessible database format, so that when places like city-data.com put up data on a city, they also show that the city has poor cell coverage and that would-be residents are aware of the fact.
My 5G coverage isn’t good, it may be time for another COVID shot.
That website was not safe for viewing
Unless you view it with an adblocker, like a sane human would do. Looks perfectly normal for me.
How does anyone become sensitive to a 5g wireless signal? I could see maybe z pscemaker or some kind brain stimulator device but just a bare bones corpus delecti would seem to be known early enough to decide not to live near the broadcaster
Not enough attention as a child, wants to get on TV, cant accept that their shit diet and aging means they dont feel like a 21 year old anymore.
Maybe all three.
