Baseline RF Radio Frequency Reading New, Unpowered, 5G Pole.

AT&T set two new 5G poles this week. This one does not yet have its electric meter set, hence it is not powered up. It failed electrical inspection so it'll be Tuesday before it gets re-inspected. I stopped to measure RF at roughly 70' away to get a baseline RF reading on it. Filmed it with my phone, which was in airplane mode at the time.

I will return to take a reading from same location once the electric meter is set and the pole is energized.

Using a Cornet ED88T-Plus meter, which can measure to a max of only 6-8 ghz. I do not know the range at which this pole will be operating, but wanted to measure it simply out of curiosity. Whatever the results are, is what they are. That's all I want to know.

Quick update 7-22-21. The pole stil does not have an electric meter, but it looks like it has passed its electrical inspection now so the meter will be coming. I check it every day and will take some readings once it is energized. There is another one nearby and I will take a reading on it as well.

Update 7-30-21. They STILL have not passed electrical inspection. I thought they had, but someone simply pulled the "failed" sticker off. Whenever they pass their electrical inspection, they will get an electric meter to energize this pole. I actually hope they never pass electrical and never get a meter and this 5G pole simply rots away. I'm keeping an eye on it and will still get my meter on it when the pole is energized.

Update 8-5-21. There was still no electric meter when I went by today. Several "failed" inspection stickers on the housing. I'll try to head that way this weekend and see if maybe it is energized. It appears that, for whatever reason, energizing this 5G pole is not a high priority. Not hurting my feelings that it isn't powered up. Or if it gets plowed over by a delivery truck for that matter. I'll get a reading from it once they have power to it.
