False health scare over radio ham's mast

Kent radio amateur Armando Martins M0PAM, who speaks six languages, is
having to fight completely unfounded allegations that his short 30ft
mast causes health and other problems

Kent Online reports that Armando Martins, who also holds the
Portuguese callsign CT1JSP, has operated a radio since 1962 and has
been using his 30ft mast in Belinge, Herne Bay since 2012. He uses his
radio equipment to communicate with other operators across the globe
and help in disaster zones if other communication systems have been
knocked out.

Residents at a Thornhurst retirement/sheltered housing complex in
Beltinge are reported to have made unfounded claims against the mast.

East Kent Housing Association runs the complex and says mediation with
the neighbours has broken down. The Association's manager, Michelle
Simmonds, confirmed that tests carried out by Ofcom have not revealed
evidence of any interference from the mast.
