Mast Antenna

Is there (i) a UK regulation and/or (ii) an EU regulation for the location of local radio broadcasters' transmitter masts/antennae regarding a minimum distance to human interface. The power intensity is much higher the closer you are to the antenna and there are health risks due to the electro and magnetic fields generated from this source. The broadcast frequency is 90.1 Mhz.

Thanks for your help from a very concerned resident.

I'm not sure about the UK, but in the US you need a transmission license from a government body to approve your FM channel and the frequency is allotted by that government body.

Military surplus aluminum masting tubes. Each tube is 48 inches long by 1.785 inch outside diameter (inside diameter 1.57 inch), wall - 0.11 inch ...

There is one omni directional antenna -
2.4Ghz,
15.4dBi,
VSWR -1,5:1,
Polarization is vertical,
input power 100 watts,
impedance 50 Ohms

How to calculate mast height for best possible coverage for WiFi network using this antenna?

The full lenght of wave of one antenna is the division of 300,000 (The speed of tjhe light in km) by the frequency in KgHz.
In this case, 300,000 : 2,400,000 = 0.125 m (12,5 cm)(4in 7/8)
Remember, highter is the frequency, shorter is the lenght of wave.

I'm looking foir some sort of kit to attach a 12 ft x 2" antenna mast to a square concrete post in my garden (typical washing line post).

Any suggestions for what I might need and links to stores welcomed
Edit: I am based in The UK, not the USA

Tapcon screws and an electrical conduit strap will do the trick.

I like to put up an outside antenna and mount it to my house with a mast. What store probably sells this type of brackets? I have all ready tried Menards and Lowes. Neither store carried any.

Radio Shack sells all kinds of antennae and mountings. If they don't have what you're looking for, they can tell you where to go.

I am trying to take off the bolt that holds the mast in (on the outside of the car). I can turn it all the way to the top of the bolt but it just keeps turning without coming off. Is their a trick to getting the antenna mast nut off? Why is it that fixing anything on these cars usually involves some off the wall technique?

Go here, www.thevolvosite.com/FAQSnew.htm. Scroll to the middle of the page and there are instructions on how to replace the antenna mast. You can also check with the guys over at volvo-forums.com, they are always willing to help a fellow volvo owner. I hope this info helps you out, VOLVO FOR LIFE BABY!
