- Yep. Bad. They even mess up a Cell Phone. And, I learned today, that the
- cell tower sends a blank-and-burst which throttles back the cellphone in
- your car/hand when it hits the tower too hard (and conversely will "heat
- it up" just a bit when needed...) Tech guy says he has seen several
- cellphones hot-rodded to 7 watts or so, and in close proximaty to the
- cell tower...they don't work for diddly...most blank-and-burst back to
- less than 1 watt anyway... ;^) so much for QRO phones!
