High-voltage power lines operate at - what? - 50 or 60 Hertz typically. Cell phones operate at about 900 or 1800 MHz, which is a different set of animals altogether. Chief (4) said:

That was an interesting point about how life duration has increased 50% during the hundred years of radio use. I wonder if me can prove that. I read some interesting, and amusing, posts here.
