Ahhh more "health" quacks, I wonder if they also believe the COVID vaccines have 5g chips in them.

The town felt the residents would be 'unsafe' due to radio frequencies and rejected the company's notion of building the tower on the land.

Ackshually, being too close to high power radio frequencies isn't safe. I remember at one base I was stationed at in Afghanistan, there was a smoke spot we all used to take breaks at. For some reason, I started developing really bad headaches and feeling kind of nauseous. I figured I was just acclimating to the local climate or something. After a few weeks, I was up on our building installing one of our satcom dishes on top of it when I noticed something. Right on the other side of the fence of that smoke area, was a ~2m high powered dish pointing just above above where the smoke area was. I pointed this out to the Norwegians that ran the camp and the break area was promptly moved, lol.

But seriously, I do not understand the anti-5G nutters.

FCC already has regulations on maximum power. These emitters are usually dozens of feet off the ground as well.
