I've been in that area several times, and have studied the locations of the hazards. This summer I drove to Valley for hay, and only two months ago, I drove Hwy 395 south to Spokane, with the Acoustimeter on the dashboard, and the audio plugged into the truck radio/CD-in. Makes a nifty hands free setup. Starting in Colville, they just put up a new tower across from the Walmart, so downtown is now very very bad. There are 3 towers on the hill 1 mile north on Colville Mtn, and another tower 2 Mi SE on Huckleberry Range Paradis Peak. Also the local AM radio tower is 1 Mi. south in the valley floor. I wrote down 0.54 V/m for Colville on the Acoustimeter, and on the Cornet, 0.258 mW/m2 outside the Walmart, and 4.807 mW/m2 inside Walmart, nearest the check out computers using WiFi, and the shelfing workers with their WiFi scanners. Avoid them like a plague! That is very much in the red zone. (I have a conversion table on my webpage.) Heading south 6 miles is Arden, and from here south it is actually fairly quiet for the next 8 miles to Addy, <0.02 V/m. Then I started picking up a cel-tower again. I located it when passing Blue Creek intersection 3 Mi south of Addy, there is a new tower just west 3/4 mile on the hill just opposite of, (south of) Rieckers Mtn. It was not there last year. I didn't write down any numbers, as I was on the highway, and didn't aim the meter at the tower. Continuing southeast, 5 Mi to Chewelah, the tower west of Chewelah becomes visible, and audible as the whine grows steadily. It is on the first hill west of the valley, but I can't remember which hill that was. Maybe Pine Hill. It looks like I forgot to update my map after that last trip... I think it is less than 2 years old. Downtown Chewelah, I wrote down 0.34 V/m. Only in the yellow zone. Fairly small bubble in radius. Worry more about the above tower than downtown stuff. South 1 mile, I got a large spike near the casino on the east side of Hwy395. I looked around hard, but couldn't see any towers to explain it. I didn't write down any numbers, but it was memorable. The next several miles past Jumpoff Joe Mtn, it is fairly quiet again, <0.02 V/m, as the surrounding hills provide good shading. I also found it fairly quiet south of Valley to Springdale where I got hay this year. Approaching Loon Lake, there is a tower on top of Deer Lake Mtn, east one mile of Hwy. From here south, there is no " quiet " on the meter, it is always buzzing and whining, with the intensity going up and down between towers etc. Approaching Clayton, I started picking up the radar from Spokane Airport, I noted 0.69 V/m at Clayton, every 11 seconds. From there south, the number of towers increase as you (or I) approach Spokane. There are 2 towers very close to, and in Deer Park. Right next to the Hwy. 0.87 V/m getting deep into the red zone again at the peak nearest those towers. Driving through Spokane is one tower after another, 2 V/m. One other measurement to share for Spokane, passing the Sears building on Division St, opposite a tall banking building, it has many antennas on top, I measured 4.07 V/m. That is seriously bad, and it really hurt. Back north to Chewelah, back in summer, when dad drove west with me on the Cedona-Addy Rd, I found the radio tower, and other towers on top of Stensgar Mtn blanketed that valley just to the north, I remember it showing up on my Zap Checker, but less so on the others. Acted more like an analog wave than a digital noisemaker. Dad thought those valleys might provide good protection from Spokane, with a warmer growing climate than here, but it didn't pan out. Second place he thought might work is a bit north in Swiss Valley. I was not feeling well enough to get excited about more exploring. I was pleasantly surprised to find those 2 quieter areas. The thing that bothers me about moving to Arden-Addy or Valley-Springdale, is it is more populated than here. But with several neighbors here broadcasting WiFi, the numerical statistic of 2 people per sq. mile just isn't what it used to be. Looks like I wrote a short book. Hope you find it educational, and helpful. > Cell danger? Thanks, > > Marji > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
