So, the third motion we perform with the meter is shifting our meter systematically up and
down, right and left, while
very slowly ‘sweep
ing
the air’ (as though sweeping ahead of
ourselves with the beam of a flashlight) to find the strongest signal.
By using these various motions we can locate the greatest signal strength and assess the full
extent of the radio/microwave impact on this patio play yard where the children and the
family spend a great deal of time.
We determine, by a combination of direction, audio recognition and field strength
measurements (and a little educated guess-work), that the strong signals are being
transmitted continuously by the wireless home security system of the neighbor’s house.
Asking him to disable it during playtime is unrealistic, so we realize from the outset that
eliminating the source is not possible.
Having detected and measured the high exposure levels has let us know just what we are
dealing with, and that leaves us with two remaining protection-solutions: a complicated
shielding project involving refacing or rebuilding the fence (for example with aluminum
siding), or
the simpler solution of ‘
distancing
’
from the source, which means relocating the
play-yard to a more EMF-free (i.e. biologically safe) spot on the property.
This is a good example, of how this meter enables us to detect unseen sources, pinpoint their
location and identify them precisely, so we may evaluate our most suitable protection options
for that source in that situation.
Another example of a situation like this where this meter has provided us with invaluable
detection of very high, though unsuspected, exposure levels, was in locating signals from a
neighbor’s WISP (Wireles
s Internet Service Provider of local WiFi service), hidden inside his
garage in order to operate clandestinely.
Other unsuspected and unseen sources this meter is good at locating are such things as small
as a neighbor’s dog collar, wireless sprinkler systems, wireless
outdoor toys, remote garage
door openers, and the list is growing. Your meter may surprise you with all the various
signals from the wide variety of wireless devices it can detect. However, many of the new
wireless devices like these (and those that operate short distances, like Bluetooth, Zigby, etc)
are legally allowed to operate using unlicensed frequencies , so you may
pick up “mystery
signals” with your meter but
never be able to identify them for certain, since they are not
listed on any official EMF spectrum allocation chart.
