Je plaisante bien sur, mais il y a un cone d\'ombre en-dessous des antennes qui \"protege\" ce qui se situe immédiatement en-dessous.

Bon, est-ce que tout l\'hopital profite de la zone d\'ombre: probablement pas!

Ca me rappelle une histoire qui est arrivee en Angleterre, il y avait un poteau au beau milieu d\'une cours de maternelle
--> les parents ont protesté pour qu\'il soit deplacé.
Je me demande s\'ils ont réussi a expliquer au parents que s\'ils deplacaient un peu l\'antenne, les enfants seraient encore plus exposé.
