You implied the antenna in this picture wasn't dangerous because it was using beam forming.

I did not say anything like that. You claimed "better directivity would make things worse" I answered "no", but there was explanation you again conveniently ignore: "MIMO array needs much less radiated summary RF energy to achieve target signal strength".  Only people with way too exaggerated imagination can conclude that this means "antenna in the picture is not dangerous".

We were comparing antenna types: is a high gain antenna safer than an omnidirectional antenna of a certain specified wattage, say 200W?

Where did we talk about antenna of certain wattage? [facepalm]
Even his terminology is incorrect, it is the transmitter which is of a certain wattage!
"Wattage"in connection to an antenna refers only to its power handling ability.

This discussion is over.

 :clap:  Agreed.

It's not over till I damn well say it is over!! :horse:

Whatever you say  8)
Back to the track about antenna in the picture. I would definitely not want to see such out of my window, those can radiate quite power. At max power for antennas of such size exclusion zone goes into roof of that house indeed. If somebody lives in the attic - it is not safe. Hopefully they do not use sector pointed at the house. Can't find exact model, but Small Cell antenna of seemingly same dimensions (600mm height by 200mm dia) can take total 300W of RF power, have max 8 dBi gain. Other antennas in the list have up-to 13dBi or so.

Unfortunately, my iPad doesn't do imgur.
I tried to download the App & it told me, in effect, "go away your iPad is too old!", so I can't see it.
I'll try to fire up the "real" computer tomorrow & have a look.

Glad to see that you finally admit it's potentially unsafe.

Iv'e always said it's not shameful to be wrong, only to not be able to admit it. :-+

What is your bloody point? Of course everything is potentially unsafe. Was some actual harm done or why are you so obsessed with this? Shall we now over-analyze kitchen knives and how they can cut you?

No problems. I made mistake by guessing that antenna on the top of the pole is > 20Gz, yet it seems that it is <= 6GHz. You better follow your mantra yourself  :bullshit:
