I did not authorize the attachment of a wireless radio transmitter on my property, that information was never presented to me. Within weeks I started having serious heart palpitations which became more and more intense as time went on. I started waking up around 3 am with my heart racing, unable to get back to sleep. I found some relief by turning off the power to my house every single night. I appealed to Pacific Power with a series of certified mail letters in order to get my analog meter back, to no avail. I soon found that my tolerance for exposure to any man made radiation was diminishing, and could not continue my business which was computer based cad drafting work.  My best option was to sell my house and close my business, which is what I did. I took an early retirement and live now without electricity, and have not had any serious heart issues since I left my house with the smartmeter in Portland.
