Editor: I am writing to express my concern with the proposed 50,000 watt AM radio towers that KRPI 1550 (BBC) is planning to relocate from Ferndale to Point Roberts.
The plan to erect five 45-metre (150-foot) steel towers that emit 50,000 watts is extremely disconcerting for our family.
Ferndale's residents have been suffering and complaining for years about blanketing electronic interference. Given our population is double that of Ferndale, and since Tsawwassen's location with respect to the proposed towers is comparable to Ferndale's location to the existing towers, similar nuisance can be expected in Tsawwassen.
The proposed tower location is unsuitable given the high-density population of Tsawwassen and the known and expected electronic interference that it will cause.
