Just up the hill from the Meredith roundabout on Route 3, there's a cell phone tower that is relatively short in height. The transmitter-receiver hardware at the top of the short tower is about 3-4 stories up.
It is directly next door to the new Meredith Bay assisted living building. Not knowing much about how cell towers work, it would appear that the radio transmissions must go directly through the Meredith Bay building when communicating to the east.
The cell tower predates the large assisted living facility by a few years.
The distance between the top of the tower and the Meredith Bay building is only about 100' which sure seems close? Cell phone towers and an elderly, or an injury recovery, assisted living population don't exactly go together like hot dogs and mustard.
Any 80 or 90-something year old residents over at Meredith Bay who have a pace maker implanted into your chest.......any chance you've been able to listen in on cell phone calls via your pace maker......how's that cell tower just next door working for you?
