In reply to the discussion: Reminder: Cell phones do not cause cancer, nor do radio waves make you sick. [View all]retread
(3,762 posts)29. Cell phones transmit the receive frequencies of the base station, while
that is in the same frequency band it is not the same frequency.
RF pressure falls as the square of the distance from the radiating source.
Most base station antennas are on 100ft or more towers.
That is one good thing about texting and the modern smart phones,
seldom do you see people hold them tightly to their skull while using them anymore.

I know of no cell freq at 812. In the 850 band the offset is 45 mhz. Cripes I'm done arguing with

I see. So an inconclusive result means lying scientists just want more grant money.

Don't much want to talk to you anymore, as courage of convictions aren't a part of your character.

I find it amusing that the deniers are just as fervent in their faith-based claims as the panickers.
