Homeowners worry about possible health effects
If you drive around the Cincinnati area you may have noticed mysterious cylinder-type cell phone towers, that look nothing like any cell tower most of us have seen.
Now, a growing number of Tri-Staters are getting worried about these towers, and the 5G signals they believe they will soon be sending out, as part of the nationwide rollout of faster 5G cell service.
Michelle Krinsky is a nurse who was out walking near her Cleves home earlier this summer, when she looked up and said, "What's that? You can see it's this ugly menace sitting there," she said.
Right at the entrance to the Village of Cleves from US 50 (River Road) is the strangest looking cell tower many people have ever seen.
Dean Beckett, who owns Ann's Tavern nearby, says his customers have been asking him about it.
"It looks like a big heater to me," he said, "I have no idea what it is."
Krinsky decided to call the village administration office, then Hamilton County, and the State of Ohio, but no one knew anything about it, she says.
The most information she and some other homeowners were able to find out is that the tower is on the US 50 right-of-way, not in the Village, so that local officials would not have to be consulted.
"We don't know who put it up, if it is running 4G right now, and if it will run 5G soon," she said.
Why 5G service sparks fears
5G cell service has become the hottest controversy in many communities this year, as Verizon rolls it out to its first 30 cities -- among them, Cincinnati.
Krinsky has now joined those protesting it locally, because she says we don't know enough about health effects.
Some studies claim 5G transmissions can contribute to a variety of health problems, and a number of cities are attempting to stop the towers and slow the rollout.
"As a registered nurse, I am very much about informed consent," she said, "which is the right to choose, the right to decline." But she says community residents were never given an option when it came to the giant cylinder tower.
How do you know if 5G is coming?
Here's telltale sign your community is about get 5G towers: You'll see white PVC tubes, typically with an orange cap, popping out of the ground. WCPO reported on these strange tubes when they started appearing last year, with "Verizon Fiber" printed on them.
These pipes contain fiber lines that then connect all the 5G towers, as they have to be connected with fiber line to reach their promised high speeds.
The Facebook group SWORT, Southwest Ohio for Reasonable Technology, claims it has spotted small, cylindrical 5G towers in Finneytown, West Chester, Liberty Township, and in Springdale by the Tri-County Mall.
But the FCC allows these towers to go in with almost no local approval. The FCC and FAA claim there are no proven links between 5G cell service and health effects, and say local residents have no reason to fear these new towers.
But Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard told us a few months ago that even he, and other county officials are left in the dark.
"The ownership is a big question," Hubbard said. "And I have asked that. We are having a hard time finding out who actually owns it."
That means no one has publicly stated who owns the mysterious Cleves tower, or any of the others popping up across the Tri State. It has no company name on the base.
A Verizon corporate spokesman, David Weissmann, confirmed to WCPO that the company is installing 5G towers in the Cincinnati area -- as he says one of the 30 cities that will soon have Verizon 5G service.
However, he said the strange Cleves tower "is not Verizon equipment."
Which means the mystery continues about the alien-looking structure towering over the Village of Cleves.
As always, don't waste your money.
I wondered who was putting in new fiber, as this area seemed to have been pretty well covered a decade or so ago.
“I have argued until I’m blue in the face with 5G alarmists. I tell them that 5G service operates on the same frequencies as the 4G service and at the same power levels. I tell them that the difference is in the message protocols and the fiber-based infrastructure. They just call me ignorant.”

Kenneth, what is the frequency? ;-)
This must be why my brain rings/buzzes 24/7
It’s amazing how home made solutions solve problems sometimes.
I saw a couple of cell towers in Las Vegas that had false tree limbs sticking out. Doesn’t fool anybody but it does break up the profile.
You need velastate
“Time to get serious about tin foil hats, and full body Faraday cage.”
yeah, but if you do that, your fillings will no longer be able to pick up your local radio stations for free ...
Whatever for???
The 5G-E is really faux 5G. It’s slightly enhanced 4G LTE. Good, but nothing like what true 5G will be like.
True 5G with speeds over 100meg and over 1 gig in places is very limited ATM. Soon though, it’ll be darn near everywhere.
Audio fidelity of course.
No worries ... microwaves only work in ovens, say the consensus of Climate Experts.
My father was a Radio Engineer.
He died of brain cancer from electric radiation.
Go talk to a dead engineer.
What you want to do at your mother’s house is grow two tall trees in her yard bracketing the cell tower line of site.
As the trees grow taller, install a wire mess between the two. This can cut down on and reflect radiation back and away.
Step 1: Purchase Reciprocating Saw
Step 2: Quietly Saw down questionable pole
Step 3: Hide in Bushes by Pole
Step 4: Look for name on white van, chuckle and the peprlexed look on worker’s face
Step 5: Intorduce yourcelf to the CIA officer
Step 6: Go to jail

Dr. Martin Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, Washington State University, discusses non-thermal cellular effects of the higher 5G frequencies in humans.
Careful, they might call the phone cops on you :P
Here in CT the maps always show 100% coverage.
Once you get out on the hilly back country roads it is more like 10%. ;-)
Thanks for the link.
Bottom line—you do not want to be living in areas with this stuff—it is particularly harmful for babies and children.
This is yet another reason to move out to the rural areas.
They can’t prove it is reasonably safe—the burden of proof is on those who claim it is safe.
Move out to the country—out of range—Just do it!
It is a nice safe place to debate the topic. :-)
