Antenna Mast

should I ground the mast or the antenna tower?
If it is a supporting structure only, then yes you should ground it. It’s probably part of your city/county/area building code that you do it.
If it is a radiating element (i.e. 1/4-wave element of a ground-plane antenna), then no it shouldn’t be grounded, but you definitely need a sufficient lightning arrestor put at the base.

The Courts are Delivering Blows Against Mobile Masts and Cell Towers
The most recent ruling cites public health risk.Ten mobile telephone antennas must be removed as they pose a threat to public health, the Athens Appeals Court ruled on 8/7/2006. In justifying its ruling, the court cited urgent concerns regarding the protection of public health.
UK campaign groups have been working with retired physicist Dr John Walker. Six studies now show an increase in serious illness appearing in radiation from masts after long-term exposure. Dr John Walker’s research clearly shows the clusters of illness appear in radiation at exposures of around 1.5v/m, which is below the guidelines significantly permitting around 40 to 50 v/m (varying according to microwave frequency).
We believe the increase will be approx 10 to 12 percent within concentrated areas. This situation demands proper and full investigation.
Germany reports a 7 fold increase in breast cancer in an area with cellular antennas.A report on 21/9/2006 the head of cancer registry in Berlin, Roland Stabenow informed the residents that there is an increase of 7 fold in breast cancer in their area (an area with cellular antennas). The attention was drawn after a map was prepared by the residents and the cancer cases are near the antennas. Can people throughout the world be wrong? Let’s look at what the science and doctors are reporting
The REFLEX project was set up to investigate the affects of low-levels of RF radiation on cellular systems; cost of approximately $3 million. The work was carried out by 12 research groups in seven European countries.
They concluded that in-vitro damage is real and that it is important to carry out much more research, especially monitoring the long-term health of people.
One thing demonstrated was that low-power RF radiation could increase the number of DNA breaks in exposed cells and could also activate a stress response with the production of heat-shock proteins.
It was clear chromosome damage could be seen in the cell exposed to mobile phone radiation over 24 hours exposure at SAR level 1.3W/kg, ICNIRP/WHO level = W/kg, similar chromosome damage can be seen in the cell exposed to irradiation equal to 1600 chest x-rays.
The image can be viewed on my powerpoint presentation slide number 16 which is on the front page of the radiation Research Trust A German study by a team of local medical doctors in Naila with data from over 10 years, discovered a threefold increase in new alignancies in people living up to 400m from a mast after five years exposure when compared to people living further away in the same town.
GP records of c.1000 patients over the period 1994-2004 Cellular transmitting site first started operating in 1993.
In the period 1999-2004, the RR=3.1 adjusted for age and gender for newly diagnosed tumours. Eger H, et al, 2004, The Influence of Being Physically Near to a Cell Phone Transmission Mast on the Incidence of Cancer, Gesellschaft 17.4.2004
Natanya, Israel
A small study by GPS at the Kaplan Medical Centre, Israel, discovered a fourfold increase in cancer within 350m after long term exposure to a phone mast and a TENFOLD increase specifically in women.

2000 Mitsubishi Diamante SEi from Australia and New Zealand – Comments
Totally perfect; everything works. When I bought in October 2005. I received all service records; it was an ex company car. I replaced all fluids (oil, transmission oil, water and brakes), fitted new pads all round, the rears I believe were original.
