Radiation Measurements – Maple Ridge 2020-09-18

I was requested to measure the RF Radiation in various parts of Maple Ridge (MR) by a person wanting to move here.  So I decided to drive about and see what RFR levels were evident.

I used a GigaHertz HF59B with the omni antenna and recorded the radiation levels using a GigaHertz NFA1000. (Thanks Hans). The meter and antenna were sitting in the passenger seat.

The readings are in µW/m².  The meter maxed out at 300  µW/m² so the max may be 400, 600, or even 1000  µW/m². I shall have to re-do the drive with meter set to read the higher RFR levels.
1 - Leaving my house walking to my car on Kanaka Way - lots of WiFi from neighbours.
2 - Drive North on 232St - low levels - residential.
3 - Corner of Dewdney Trunk Road (DT) and 230St - HiRFR - WiFi from the Tim Hortons on corner
4 - 2 blocks S on 230St parked - very low levels - Close to Haney Pioneer Village
5 - DT and 228St - v. high RFR (?)
6 - South on 224St passing Lee Building which has many cell transmitters on roof - really bad.
7 - Further south on 224St high RFR levels - still in sight of the Lee building.
8 - Residential areas in North MR - LOW levels - Lots of trees - no sight of cell towers.
9 - DT East from Laity to 224St - v.v.high from tall apartment building at 222St with cell trans.
9+ - Parking at Friends in Need Food Bank - low RFR levels

Conclusions 
1 - Very high levels of RFR near cell towers.  I have made several prior surveys in apartments close by.  Not a place I would ever live.
2 - Many places in residential with acceptable low levels of RFR.
