DENNY & ASSOCIATES, P.C. <br /> 44 <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> WASHINGTON, DC <br /> ENGINEERING STATEMENT <br /> ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH SURVEY <br /> SPRINT CELLULAR COMPANY <br /> STATION ILNKA293 <br /> CARRBORO, NORTH CAROLINA <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> Electromagnetic field strength measurements were made by the undersigned <br /> at the transmitting site of Domestic Public Cellular Radio Telecommunications Service <br /> station KNKA293. The measurements were made on September 19, 1995, on behalf of <br /> Sprint Cellular Company, licensee of KNKA293. <br /> Data collected during the survey were evaluated-against two standards <br /> which establish the maximum levels of radio-frequency energy to which humans may <br /> be exposed without known harmful biological effects. The two standards are American <br /> National Standards Institute (ANSI) C95.1-1982 and ANSI/Institute of Electrical and <br /> Electronics Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1992. ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 is the revision of <br /> C95.1-1982. The protection guide levels specified in ANSI C95.1-1982 have been <br /> adopted by the Federal Communications Commission as the acceptable levels of human <br /> exposure to radio-frequency radiation (RFR). The FCC currently is considering <br /> adoption of the-revised standard and most likely will do so when the docket comes up <br /> for consideration. By evaluating the survey data against both the existing and revised <br /> standards,there should be no need to repeat the survey effort at such time as the FCC <br /> adopts the.revised standard. <br /> Survey measurements were made at representative locations on the ground <br /> at the cell site, both inside and outside the tower fence, and inside the equipment <br /> shelter. The exposure level at each location surveyed was below the sensitivity <br />
