The American Town Banning Cell Phones and Wi-Fi

It was incredible (and a little scary) to be at the top of the Green Bank Telescope.  The dish is the size of two football fields.  It was recently announced that the Green Bank scope will be part of the world's largest search for extraterrestrial life, scanning 20 times more of the sky than any other project. --Laura Ling

YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING MAGNETIC FIELD

So Wi-Fi and Cellular Signal makes them sick while the live next to a big ass satellite telescope, have lamps in their homes and live in a magnetic field. I've never seen a better example of placebo.

It's strange that these people who are so sensitive to radio signals are not affected by the huge antenna next door

I wish I lived in a town like that. Everyone is always on their cellphones nowadays. It would be nice to get away from it all. Technology irritates me!

I wanna go visit that place. I think we should have more places like that cause it will help with the technology addiction that is occuring in other places. And people can actually talk to each other the more proper way! Which is face-to-face.

Aren't those mics wireless? hahaha

That guy bakes his lean cuisine.

THIS TOWN IS A DREAM!!!

radio quiet zone... has a walkie strapped to his side -_-

so... telescopes and crackpots?

That seems like a good place to study those supposedly electrosensitive people. There is a baseline of no or low EM noise; so, then if one had them come in and do tests now and then with of course different testing methodologies, they could determine if someone is really sensitive or if perhaps the anxiety of believing they are is triggering symptoms, or if maybe the symptoms aren't really even happening.

So the electromagnetic field effects is exclusive to hippy women?

Better Call Saul anyone?

I go down there every year to go see my grandparents and it's actually really nice :'))

I would love to live in Green Bank, West Virginia! I've never owned a cell-phone in my life--and have no intention of getting one. To paraphrase what one of the people said in this video: We got along quite well in the 20th century without this technology.

From the WHO website: "A number of studies have been conducted where EHS individuals were exposed to EMF similar to those that they attributed to the cause of their symptoms. The aim was to elicit symptoms under controlled laboratory conditions. The majority of studies indicate that EHS individuals cannot detect EMF exposure any more accurately than non-EHS individuals. Well controlled and conducted double-blind studies have shown that symptoms were not correlated with EMF exposure. It has been suggested that symptoms experienced by some EHS individuals might arise from environmental factors unrelated to EMF. Examples may include “flicker” from fluorescent lights, glare and other visual problems with VDUs, and poor ergonomic design of computer workstations. Other factors that may play a role include poor indoor air quality or stress in the workplace or living environment. There are also some indications that these symptoms may be due to pre-existing psychiatric conditions as well as stress reactions as a result of worrying about EMF health effects, rather than the EMF exposure itself."

This is why I subscribed to you guys. You have the most insects and interesting stories that aren't violent like the ones that dominate the news.

Instead of doing it about 100 miles from DC, do it in the desert or the uninhabited plains in the Midwest.
