[comp.dcom.telecom] Cellular Telephone Antenna Considerations

phil@ucbvax.berkeley.edu (Phil Weinberg SPS) (01/04/91)

I have just received a mail notice that public hearings will be held
concerning the application and awarding of a cellular telephone
antenna site about a block from my home.  I am curious if anyone has
ever attended these types of hearings and what kinds of questions have
been raised, or should have been.

Should I be concerned about rfi from this site?  Will it cause
"interference" on my TV and/or FM receivers, even though I'm sure the
cellular company will guarantee that their transmissions will be
within the allowable FCC limits?  What about pickup on my telephone
lines, which I think pass pretty close to the antenna site?

I would appreciate any information available, with suggested questions
to ask at the hearing.
