Here is map of Cell-towers in the area, not sure if it will say if they are 5G.

Alarm bells rang out when 3G came... crickets, then 4G... again crickets... now 5G... probably again crickets.

I know there's one you can see just below the crest of Mt Boucherie if you're looking from Smith Creek ... looks something like a spindly pine tree with branches sticking straight out ...

Click on the link, enter your address and it'll show whether 5G is available near your place and the approximate location of the cell tower.

That is the same link I posted in my original posting and it shows where 5G is available but I do not see where it shows where any of the towers are? Are we to just assume it’s close to the dark purple areas?

Yes but there are hundreds of cell phone towers, I am wanting to know specifically where the 5G towers are. I appreciate your trying to help 😀. Don’t want to sound ungrateful at all.

If your cellphone is 5G compatible there shouldn’t be a problem.

The problem is…….I don’t want to live near a 5G tower. 😂

Click on the markers with #5 in them and you'll see the address of the tower and coverage area.

Good luck with that.

I mentioned earlier... before 3G was introduced people was saying sky is falling <crickets happened>, then again when 4G came along <once again crickets>... now Oh no 5G happening <cricket fan club will be heard again>

Far bigger problems are currently happening.... dealing with 3 world Dictatorships (NK, CCP & Russia).

Binky, using the link I just posted and clicking on #121604 it shows you the address and area covered. There's also one in the Shannon Lake area.

You're not going to like what you see. Click on image to enlarge.

No, I don’t like it, but I am not surprised. Was just curious how close I might be to an actual tower. Now I know.
Yes we have bigger things to be concerned about for sure, but this is big enough. People just put up with all this crap. Not that standing up for our rights gets us anywhere anymore. They do what they want. We have sure been finding that out in the recent years. I’m not long for this world anyway, and I think that may be a good thing. In fact, none of us may be long in this world.

Remember when………….
Oh I could type 20 pages with sentences to finish that line.

Not living next to 5G tower is a right?

As a longtime techie, I've never feared electromagnetic radiation that's not extremely locally intense. I've not been convinced by the arguments presented by those opposed to 5G (or less) cell towers.

Can anyone provide links to serious research on this subject?
