Changed my mind about those 5G tower protesters after my router kept dropping signal

I used to think they were just paranoid, but after my neighbor showed me his EMF meter readings hitting 12 mW/cm2 near the new tower by the park, I started wondering. Has anyone else actually measured levels around those things?

Bro for real tho nobody's talking about how those cheap meters react to dirty power from old wiring. My buddy lives in a 70s house and his meter goes nuts near any outlet but his neighbor in a new build gets normal readings right next to the same tower. Could be the grid quality more than the 5G itself causing those spikes.

Picked up one of those cheap meters myself after my dog started acting weird near the streetlamp by our house. Had a guy at the hardware store tell me the cheaper ones will go haywire if you stand near a microwave or even a faulty ceiling fan, so I'm not sure what to believe anymore. Still got me checking my WiFi every time the modem glitches out though.

Have you ever used a calibrated meter or was that just a cheap Amazon one? Those things can be wildly inaccurate and pick up all sorts of interference.
