- Microwave Sickness claim: Symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and sleep disturbances have been reported in some occupational studies involving high RF exposures at close range. However, these symptoms are nonspecific and establishing RF exposure as the cause has proven difficult. NEXRAD antennas are elevated 33-115ft AGL, with the main beam angled upward at ~0.2-0.5 degrees. This keeps the beam well above most residential areas near the tower, and the general public is not exposed to the amount of RF radiation as occupational workers like technicians.

- Occupational Insomnia claim: The studies involve radar workers/techs exposed to 14–18 GHz pulsed RF. NEXRAD operates at approximately 2.7–3.0 GHz. 14-18 GHz is a different frequency range with different propagation and absorption characteristics, but more importantly the workers in those studies experienced substantially greater and more prolonged exposures than members of the general public. NEXRAD technicians also follow strict procedures that require turning the radar off during maintenance near the unit. Extrapolating occupational findings to the general public is not scientifically justified.

- EEG and Sleep Architecture claim: Some lab studies have reported subtle EEG changes following RF exposure, but reviews of the literature consistently note that findings are mixed and often contradictory, with some studies showing increases, decreases, or no changes at all. Observed EEG changes do not automatically imply poorer sleep quality, insomnia, or adverse health effects, and these studies generally involve controlled exposures that cannot be directly extrapolated to NEXRAD weather radar exposure.

- Distance and Exposure claim: While power density decreases with distance per the inverse square law, the stated numbers are highly misleading and do not reflect real world exposure. Using a simple power density calculator with 750kW peak power, 45.5dB gain, and 3,800ft distance yields ~158mW/cm^2. However, this represents peak, on axis, continuous wave power density directly in the center of the main beam (essentially it assumes the beam is locked directly on you at full power). In reality, the beam points overhead and scans past any fixed ground location. NEXRAD is a pulsed radar with a very low duty cycle (max ~0.2%). Its average transmitted power is on the order of 1kW (roughly several hundred to ~1,500W depending on operating mode). Applying this average power to the same calculator gives ~0.32mW/cm^2, already far lower - and this still ignores beam rotation, elevation scanning, and off axis positioning. Actual ground level exposure is substantially lower (~0.1mW/cm^2 or less) than the peak power calculation because of the low duty cycle, antenna rotation, beam elevation, and off axis positioning.

Concerns about RF are valid, as RF can have biological effects at high levels, but this post conflates occupational exposures, different radar systems, different frequencies, and laboratory studies with the much lower exposures experienced by the public near NEXRAD installations. It also relies on peak power calculations that do not represent real world exposure from a rotating, pulsed weather radar. After more than three decades of nationwide NEXRAD operation, there is no credible evidence of widespread health effects among populations living near these radar installations.
@ChemtrailsWA@MizdInformation@Humanbydesign3 Runs away and blocks🤣
Seriously the mind control is the smart device in your hand that is programming you to believe in bullshit. Put your Ai and highlighter away and use your brain.
@MetEduc@KellerWomack I guess anecdotal evidence trumps the vast knowledge base available out there for free. This internet thing was supposed to be the information superhighway- more like the disinformation stupid highway for some.
@Javi_HOA We received your complaint and filed it. A copy is posted on the bulletin board in the breakroom. Every one is having a good hearty laugh.
Keep the jokes coming!
@MetEduc@Undergotten Well aware. The question is: do they always do it over specific NEXRADs or is that just coincidence.
Educate yourself at @Undergotten posts or on his Rumble channel.
@KellerWomack You can cherry pick examples all day. Low pressure systems are large and expansive, so it’s statistically likely some will pass over or near NEXRAD sites. That doesn’t mean the radars are causing or influencing them-correlation is not causation.
