"The pager towers on the Palomar Inn are emitting a level of microwave radiation that has been found unsafe by scores of scientific studies."
Okay, what is the EM field strength that you measured, where and when did you measure it, and using what make and model of meter?
On what frequencies have you confirmed (via frequency counter, oscilliscope, spectrum analyzer, or other suitable device) active broadcast from the Palomar? And at what wattage levels? Again, please cite date, time, and location of reading, and make and model of device.
You don't know, do you?
I believe you're lying. You have no idea what the EM levels are from that rooftop. For all you know, they could be in receive-only mode, or not even plugged in!
So microwave is dangerous but pirate radio stations are safe, because microwave is higher frequency? What frequency is light? Much higher! Pretty dangerous, all that light out there, huh?
So low frequency pirate radio is safer? Tell that to all the cancer cluster children growing up under 60hz power lines.
So lower power pirate radio is safer because "it's no more power than a 60 watt light bulb"? A light bulb is not a radio transmitter. A laser is not a radio transmitter either, but a 60W laser will slowly cut through sheet metal.
"Studies have shown that microwave energy can be dangerous"? Studies, including some of your very won, have also shown that microwave energy below a given threshold is NOT dangerous.
What's the level of the Palomar? Oh that's right, you don't know.
"Unsightly"? That building is some 12 stories tall, you can't even see them from most locations, without trying real hard. By contrast, the FRSC antenna is a terrible blight upon that neighborhood. Imagine a 30ft whip antenna on a 2nd story rooftop right outside your living room, kitchen, or bedroom window? Why don't you care about that?
So the Palomar doesn't have permits. I thought you all were against government restrictions? You're just jealous. Be happy for the Palomar that they are able to enjoy the freedom you are denied.
You should fight against city hall for that same freedom for everyone else, not fight alongside city hall against the public.
Free Speech TV pays bribes (called FCC licensing) for their freedom too, just like the Palomar is probably bribing city hall in some way. Meanwhile, you're denied the freedom to broadcast.
Is that FSTV's fault? No. Then how is it the Palomar's fault?
This isn't about radiation levels, city permits, or visual clutter. It's about you hating someone for having vastly more money than you and your friends. It's about class prejudice.
pseudo-science, class prejudice, and liberal hypocrisy
