RF Energy

Back in the mid-80s I used a high-power portable radio in military security duties. A friend showed me how you could light your flashlight (with no batteries in it) by holding your radio near the bulb and press the transmit button. It worked! But today it reminds me that everything that transmit a signal send out RF and if it can light a bulb, it can cause health problems! I know, digital signals transmit significantly less power, but then again, we're holding them to our heads a lot more than I ever held that radio to my ear.
