There is no known mechanisum that would explain how radio waves can
cause the effects listed in the link. I have to believe that if there
was anything to the link between radio wave and sickness then there
would be a ton of 'smoking gun' studies proving it. Despite what you
may have heard or read about radio waves cauasing cancer *Not* One* of
those studies has ever shown numbers more statisticly significant than
random noise or been able to be duplicated by other reaserchers.
Radio frequency waves have no demonstrably proven effects other than
heating, they are not ionizing radiation such as emitted from nuclear
materials- they can't cause any kind of organ failure unless you
talking about fried liver.

While the picture looks impressive with all those dish antennas there
is in fact very little radiation emitted from them except to the
front. Government standards are very conservative for people working
in RF fields, something like 1% of the level that produces any sort of
observable effect, and thats a fration of a percent of the heating
effect you would feel from simply sitting in front of a warm stove.
If the levels are exceeded there than the complainents might have a
case for an un-safe work space but I have a very hard time believing
the levels would be anywhere near anything you could feel, never mind
actually dangerous. As for some of the conditions listed such as
'radiation anorexia' thats something that appears to be tied to
radiation treatments for cancer, & yes, that *is* ionizing radiation.

The writer may very well really be sick, but I'd be looking for other
causes rather than trying to blame something, which from everything we
know about how the universe works, isn't responsible.

Or invoking conspiracie theories when no one agees with them.

I'm not questioning the research, I just find it really odd that
entire families would suffer symptoms. Something in the soil dust,
perhaps?

"In memory of Mary Smith, Likely Mountain Lookout resident for three
fire seasons. 1997-1999. Passed away of cancer early summer 2000."
After only three years?

Do towers in the Middle of Nowhere operate at higher power than
typical cellular towers in a city?

For the record, I stumbled upon the site while looking for tiny towns
in the mountains to take a vacation. Likely, CA seemed interesting...

I think she said families were encouraged to stay at the fire tower with the employees, thus they were also exposed to the same "radiation".
