Amersham ---- News, Views & Information |
For many people the location of mobile phone masts is of
interest. People may wish to know where masts are for reasons of coverage /
reception, health fears or how they impact on views.
Whatever your
reason for wanting to know where masts are, below are details of where masts
are in the Amersham area. The purpose of this page is just to provide
information. I offer no opinion as to alleged health issues or planning issues.
You may be surprised to know just how many or how few masts there are. The
exact locations I cannot give, nor do I guarantee this information to be
correct or complete, there may well be other masts or some of the masts may not
now be in use.

The above sites were discovered by visual observation and
looking on the web site www.sitefinder.radio.gov.uk/
here. This
site finder web site can show
locations of all the mobile phone base stations in Great Britain and also
provides other information such as height and power. Although I had spotted a
few base stations in Amersham, I was surprised to find out just how many there
were from the site finder web
site .
The above would seem to indicate that Amersham is
dominated by Orange and T Mobile. However, this is probably misleading. I
understand that Vodafone and MM02 transmit mainly on a different frequency
(900) to Orange and T Mobile (1800). One of the characteristics of the 900
frequency is that the signal travels further than the 1800 frequency, requiring
fewer base stations / masts. Also, not every mast transmits at the same power,
some are very low power designed to cover a small area. The height of the mast
will also determine the area covered.
Recent additions to the masts have
come from Hutchison who operate the "3" network
If anyone knows of any
other masts, or corrections, please email the web master
The old nurses home at Amersham hospital used to have a
lot of masts on its roof. I understand some of these were mobile phone masts.
The nurses home was demolished in 2002.

Any additions, corrections, alterations, please
email the web
master
