Note UK radio amateurs still being encouraged by their organisation The Radio Society of Great Britain to believe the microwave 'no evidence' line.
--------
As radio amateurs often support phone anti-mast camapigns with measurement equipment and know-how, this is a clever way to try to alienate the two groups of people!
Interesting that they are still allowing VHF and UHF equipment up to 20 W. (Tx power or EIRP???) Most of the low-height and building mounted base stations that most highly irradiate people fall into this category.
So they cause aggravation to the radio amateur community but still allow the sorts of UHF signals that mast protestors are most worried about.
I think most amateur equipment is probably OK, but I have found some terrible examples of moon-bounce kit in small residential gardens very close to other houses and putting out very high ERPs with lots of side-lobe splatter nearby. I do think that that needs better regulation. Luckily, few amateurs actually experiment with it, especially in new housing estates.

I believe that up to 1500 watts can legally be used into a high-gain aerial array of at least 20dB, making an EIRP of 150 kW!
Ofcom acknowledge the UK amateurs have achieved moon-bounce comms on frequencies up to 24 GHz.
I hope this is of interest
