Re: analogous to being inside a microwave

So does that mean the antennas fixed to the water tower behind my house is poisoning my family?
No those are cell phone antennas; since cellphone is 2-way wireless communications, those antennas on the water tower put out only a little bit more power than the cellphone that you hold up to your ear.

Much different than a high-power TV transmitter, which can put out an effective radiated power of up to 1 million Watts. That's thousands of times what a microwave does, BTW.

Most cell sites operate at powers several magnitudes higher than what your cell phone uses. Even the lowest power PCS transmitter is 20 watts and each site has several of these running. The EiRP at the antenna is several times higher. You don't want that next to your head even for a second. Back in the AMPS days, a cell phone was only three watts at full power.
