This ham has the necessary technical equipment (a spectrum analyzer), and he voluntarily helps people who ask nicely. You might consider contacting your local ham radio club and asking for help, since you have such a worthy cause; maybe the local club in your area has an expert like my club does. | |

Where I live we have terrible signal precisely because people are scared of cell phone towers and refuse to have one put up nearby. Well-connected people can get the proposals squashed, I heard first-hand about the drama of the much-needed mast being cancelled by the neighbourhood. Now of course our phones are transmitting on maximum power all day, so more RF if that worries you, shorter battery life and slow data. * sigh * | |

Radio amateurs make up nearly 0.2% of the US population, so I guess >20% of people live within 500 m of a ham. Most people use LTE in some form, and many of them are unhappy with their signal. This means there are potentially 10 million people in this situation - poor LTE signal, within 500 m of a ham with all those antennas poking out. There must 10,000 RF transmitting devices within 500 m of you. Of those, the HF radio is the least likely to be the problem. | |
