FYI, radio waves are not ionizing. Neither are microwaves.
Microwaves can still cook you but they won't give you cancer.
Y'know what, you're right, thank you for checking me on that. I spent 6 years doing broadcast and cell work and have been out for several years, my memories of the RF awareness classes have waned a bit. No matter though, it's still fuckin' painful to be 20 feet under a television broadcast antenna at full power.
