Ham Radio antennas, how bad are they?

Greetings,

We have found a very appealing house EMF and chemical wide, but we noticed that a house about 1/3 mile away has two 50 foot towers that look like Ham radio setups. Is there a general answer for how bad these are for Electro-sensitive people. We can measure the fields at the house, but we don't know if there is a continual signal, or only when the person is using the radio.

Any help would be appreciated. We are hoping to make an offer on this house in the next couple days if the response is positive...but we certainly do not want to wind up in a worse way than we are now and then not be able to re-sell the house and move again.

Many thanks, and sorry for the urgency...at least for us!

- Tom and Sandra

P.S. - We live in the US if that affects how people use Ham radios

Amateur radio signals are not normally a major problem. 1/3rd of a mile is a good distance. It would not put me off whereas a large cell tower at that distance would. However, we have no details of what the person is doing - some advanced techniques like moon-bounce do use high pulsed powers. Two 50 foot towers sounds like a large amateur radio setup. Sorry about the delay.
