How far should you live from Radio Tower?

Avoid standing directly in front of or close to an antenna. As a rule of thumb, stay six feet away from a single antenna and 10 feet away from a group of antennas. If you are not sure, ask your supervisor, the building owner, or the property manager if RF-generating antennas are present where you need to work.

What is safe distance from cell tower?

As per DoT guidelines, if a mobile tower has 1 antenna , it should be installed at minimum distance of 20 metres from a house, in case of 2 antennas minimum distance should be 35 metres, for 4 antennas it should be 45 metres and for 6 antennas the minimum distance should be 55 metres.

Does radio tower have radiation?

Luckily, according to Foster, low frequency non-ionizing radiation from radio towers falls off quickly. Cell towers are fully digital with signals that are pulse-modulated. They provide more exposure to non-ionizing radiation than cell phone towers but are still strictly regulated by FCC guidelines.

Is it safe to live near a mobile tower?

Being exposed to a mobile tower located within 50-metres is like being in a microwave oven for 24 hours, say experts, and carries the same cancer risk as living surrounded by lead, DDT, chloroform and petrol exhaust. Two of the three Kasliwal brothers were recently diagnosed with cancer.

What happens if you touch a AM tower?

It’s not a defense system, the AM radio waves are so large that the entire tower acts as the antenna (or some towers act as a half or quarter antenna due to magic trickery). If you touch any AM tower you might die because there is 10kW of power going through that thing.

What will happen if you touch a radio tower?

So, what happens when you touch an antenna is that your body becomes part of it, expanding its effective aperture up to your body size, gathering the signal that an antenna your own size would gather, dissipating some due to internal resistance while allowing some signal to create currents through the radio’s antenna.
