EMF generated from a nearby communication satellite dish |
Hi, I have a EMF related question.
My local utility company plans to install a 4-ft satellite dish
mounted on a 15 feet pole just next to my backyard.
The purpose of this satellite dish is for remote earthquake alert
and remote shut-offs of a nearby underground water valve -
so I think the signals must be send and receive both ways.
I believe the distance of the communication is some 50 miles - as
that is roughly how far away the utility company's monitoring center
is.
The dish pole will be just outside of my backyard fence - or some 20
feet away from my house structure.
This is all the information I have at this point.
Do I need to be concerned about my family's health and the potential
EMF
interrupts to my TV satellite dish and cell phone at home?
Thanks for any reponse in advance.

Hi Bass,
I might as well answer you, then all sorts of jerks
will check my work and I will get them to answer you
since they seem to not bother with actual posts usually
and will mostly follow me like angry and hungry puppies.
:)
If they are only using it for a warning or emergency shut off
system, it should not bother you at all since it
will only be used when such occurs.
As long as you don't go sitting in the dish when such
occurs, there probably will still be no problem
when such happens.
Hope that helps ya.
If I am wrong, you should get some more people
to answer
(they may even say I am wrong and then give the same
answer)
:)

Why not ask the company? There are regulations about safe power levels,
which they should be aware of, and able to prove that they are
following.
and the potential
EMF
interrupts to my TV satellite dish and cell phone at home?
Why do you assume their signals are likely to interfere with your TV and
phone reception? They aren't likely to be on the same frequency.

Doesn't that depend on the size of the poster's TV dish?
I've seen dishes in [forget the name of the Carribean island]
eight feet diameter.
I'd be more concerned about what water is shut off.

Nope. Frequency depends on international and national frequency
allocations. Size of dish depends on how weak the signal is likely to
be. Or isn't that what you meant? ;-)

A good point. I suspect the OP's mobile phone (or his computer, or his
microwave oven, or...) is more likely to interfere with the water
company's link than vice versa.

I'm not sure now ;-). I don't recall if I was thinking about
coming or going.

Yup. And more importantly, those who are using the same
frequencies, illegally. There is a truck that passes by
my house every afternoon with the driver flapping lips.
I can hear what he says on AM1030 with a Doppler effect.
I think I begin to hear him when the truck is about 100
yds down the street...maybe 200.

Thanks for any reponse in advance.
If it is pointing away from where you are yo uare probably safe.
If it is pointing to where you can go (garden, upper floors house),
I would get one of those microwave detectors (for leaking from magnetron),
and *IF* is shows anything AT ALL get a lawyer and call the firebrigade to tare that
thing down and have it shut of, call every organization you can think of, including the
TV station.
Those transmitters (especially for 50 miles) can be really powerfull.
I think a 15 feet pole is a bit low for 50 miles....
If it is a 'satellite dish' and pointing upwards and away, it will communicate via satellite.
Same applies, but then it very likely will not point at your place, as that would
attenuate the signal.
