I finally tested that 5G tower near my house with an RF meter

Picked up a cheap meter off Amazon for $40 and measured the radiation levels coming from that tower down the street. The readings were way higher than I expected, even inside my house. Has anyone else actually measured these things themselves?

Grabbed one of those same $40 meters last week and pointed it at my wifi router just for fun. Turns out my microwave oven puts out way more RF when it's running than the tower does from 100 feet away. Got a good laugh out of that. Now I'm more worried about my neighbors' smart meters and their Ring doorbells than the tower honestly. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're actually measuring with that thing too. Take those numbers with a grain of salt unless you spent real money on a proper meter.

Well there goes my excuse to blame the tower for my burnt toast.
