had a bad area right where he slept.


I would like to see a certificate of calibration from an ACAS registered
standards lab before I trusted a meter to tell me anything.

What is "bad" ? What is "off the scale" nV/m ? V/m If I remember the
thrust of some of the recent "research" it is LOW fields that cause more
problems (if they do) than High fields

The meter and research on the net gave some suggested figures that were the
maximum to be exposed to. I cannot remember the precise figures that I got,
suffice it to say that the only household problem place was my son's room
and this was caused by the water pipes under the floor acting as some form
of radiating antenna, near which was a very high field.

I mention the power lines as an interesting show of the variations the meter
would show.

The figures indoors where bad were hundreds of times less than below the
power lines.

I am certain that for a court case it would need a calibrated machine with
an expert witness, but I don't believe that is what the OP needs at present.
