I wanted to respond the brain aneurysm-causing letter by one Sara Rath (21 July).
The letter writer was either a troll or, to be honest, someone who needs to have their education re-evaluated, or at least the education institutions they attended need to be re-evaluated.
The police officer who asked her, ‘How many watts is coming from the tower?’ was right to do so, and clearly knows something.
Watts is generally used as a measurement of power. Watts not only is a measure of power consumption by an electronic device ie a 60Watt incandescent light, but also measures radio transmission power.
Clearly ‘someone’ has not done their ‘research’.
