Hi Jim, funny you should mention that. I did try to say in plain english,
that the cellphone is actually much worse but they would have none of it.
And that I wasn't planning to transmit from the station and would probably
take it down in a year or so. I didn't give them exact numbers, so I was
resisting taking their money but they insisted....

I have an interesting story; I moved QTH from the suburbs to one in the
mountains. While building the new location, I kept the original house but
ham radio fell silent due to all the work I was doing in the new place. A
real estate agent representing potential buyers for a house behind us was
concerned about my roof top yagi which I had left there. They looked into
radiation issues and exposure to their young kids and were concerned.
They asked me to take it down. It was not high on my priority so at first
I said no. Then they offered me $5K to take it down on their closing of
the house. At that point I said okay and spent an hour taking it down. Of
course the $5k went back into ham radio.
You didn't just show them your analysis of radiated field strengths and
show that you were 20 dB under the uncontrolled exposure limit?
(in comparison to the EM radiation from the cell phone in their
pocket/purse)
