<That's when wireless will hit the skids. It will be the first big technology bust. The reason it will go is that em radiation of the radio frequency easily couples to matter. This makes wireless a niche player. Rats, why didn't I think of that? Just wait until I tell the radio, television, microwave, cellular and satcom industries. I'm buying gold, that doesn't couple to anything.> Hmm, lets see, I have been around transmitters since, ummph, um ahh, 1956 or so, anything from 1 watt to several megawatts peak pulse power with anything from a whip antenna to antenna towers perhaps 100 foot or more higher to large dish (15 feet high, 30 feet wide) antenna. I know several dozen or more operators, technicians, etc that have on site for up to 40 years. The frequencies range from 550 Khz to 12 Ghz. I seem to recall that there are many ships and airplanes with radar, etc ( seen a picture of a warship? look at the antenna farm). I must let them know of this problem :-) No time to waste!
