- Very true. Low frequency radiation is quite different and I'm sure affects
- living tissue VERY differently than RF (it's the E field vs. the H field).
- There is very little (if any) evidence linking low frequency radiation to any
- effects anyway so far.

- Also, has anyone ever noticed the large number of people that live directly
- under TV transmitter towers? I'm told the field is so strong that one can
- cause a fluourecent bulb to glow slightly just by holding it. These
- transmitters emit roughly 100KW.....I haven't heard of any anomalies among
- people under them......
