Story: Mobile mast attacks raise vigilante concerns

• 
• 

I work for a company who specialise in building and rigging mobile phone masts.Although many of the sites that we rig are not powered up we do have the odd occasion where we rig on shared sites.These sites are fully operational whilst we are working and to protect the rigging team we carry an RF metre which measures the RF output.These metres are set way below the recommended settings and if one goes off we are instructed to come down from the tower straight away,I can count the ammount of times one has gone off on one hand,which is exeptionally low considering I have been doing this job for close on five years.If it wasnt safe to do this work I dont think the operators would let us do the job,it would cost them a fortune in compensation if one or more men became ill doing this kind of work.
