  Radio Aerials/Telecommunications Equipment in Church Towers
Tower security is, in normal circumstances, the proper sole responsibility of the ringers because of the particular health and safety issues associated with church bells, bell fittings and bellframes.
The main influences on the tower's internal acoustics are the physical properties of the ringing chamber, the intermediate sound attenuation and balancing (ISAandB) chamber, the bell chamber, the tower staircase, and also the physical properties of their respective contents.
The officers of the territorial/diocesan ringing association must be fully alert in respect of those churches in their area whose towers are silent, either because the bells are at present unringable or because the bells are at present not rung for lack of ringers.

Andrew ensures that the tower meets and in virtually all cases exceeds the design requirements for the American, British, South African (all of African standards) and the stringent Canadian standards for design of steel members, welding, use of high tensile bolts and calculations for wind terrain and antenna loading.

 'What Are Death Towers?' From Don Croft (Mar. 16, 2005)
Every standing tower in the world, pretty much, can be seen by energy sensitives and psychics to give off very dense, destructive dead orgone radiation--the energy of death and decay.
The difference between HAARP and your neighborhood death tower is that HaARP shoots the DOR up into the atmosphere and the neighborhood towers direct it down at the surrounding population.

 SD : Knowledge : The first mile of connectivity: Wireless weaves to lessen the gaps in rural telecommunication coverage ...
The combined effects of plummeting equipment costs, the internationalization of communications, liberalization of the telecommunications sectors in many countries and the expanding array of technologies able to exploit new areas of the radio frequency spectrum have produced a dynamic, but relatively immature field, where clear answers are often not yet available.
Companies such as Granger Telecommunications in the UK, and SR Telecom and Nortel in Canada have reached significant levels of commercial production for these systems, and are able to provide them at very competitive prices to PTOs and private sector telecommunication operators.
The relatively quick spread of VSAT in liberalized telecommunication markets, compared to the slow spread of VSAT in the rest of Africa points clearly to the effect that liberalized telecommunication markets can have on improving the spread of services and reducing their costs, key factors in the establishment of rural telecommunication services.
