Dear Roy:
We're fighting three Sprint PCS antennas to be placed on top of a jazz
club here in San Francisco. Several hospitals and businesses have
already rejected the antennas so something positive is beginning to stir
in our society. However, on top of this revelation, an interesting piece
of news turned up.
David Hammett of Hammett and Edison appeared on behalf of Sprint PCS at
a Sprint-sponsored neighborhood meeting last night. He was there to
explain the absolute safety of cellular antennas: "five hundred times
below the U.S. standard." In the course of questions and answers,
Hammett revealed that these new antennas will have an output of 1000
watts as opposed to the more usual installations here in San Francisco
of 100 watts.
Although Sprint has achieved virtually total outdoor coverage in San
Francisco according to Hammett, Sprint has now upped the ante to provide
total indoor coverage as well. Hence the need to radiate at increased
power levels. And they have not yet progressed to providing wireless
internet and so forth.
According to the Sprint attorney present, some 1.5 million households in
the U.S. currently use only wireless telephones in the home. For the
sake of this small percentage, the rest of us will face increased
exposures from the larger antennas.
Sprint has fifty installations throughout San Francisco and has plans to
build fifty more.
Very best,
Christopher Beaver
