400 yards? Like fewer than 400 metres?
Whaddabout the poor souls just inside the dike at the western end of Williams Road in Richmond? The ones on Springhill Road - Place - Crescent?
Oh, of course, that 50 kW transmitter (and, gasp, a 1000-watt high-frequency shortwave unit) broadcasts non-threatening CBC programming.
This RF scare-crap is ridiculous. Go visit Bew Zealand: Wellington's northern suburb of Titahi Bay had a 100, 60, and 20 kW installation blasting away for decades, with staff housing mixed right into the site.. and currently has two 50's, two 10's, and a 5 kW from three towers. About 6 or 7 km west of Auckland's CBD/Downtown in the midst of concentrated housing, all mebbe a dozen local AM'ers are located on two sticks, one on each side of the freeway, with powers ranging from 3 x 10, four or five x 5, and the rest 1 kW.
Back in Metro Vancouver, CJVB/1470 is a hop, skip, and jump from Champlain Heights in SE Vancouver... and gonna be breathing right down the necks of those folks moving into the River District where the old Vanply lumber stuff used to be just west of Boundary/south of Marine Way.
So let's give a collective head-shake to these Tsawwassen NIMBY-types.
