They are not of sympathetic/compatible resonance. As certain RF begins to

an effect at a micro and even an atomic level, then characteristics change

the physics don't. You get a magnetic current from even water flowing in a
pipe. Frequency is how we choose to measure the entity. Why do different RF
values effect us and require protection, but not from others. What may

one freq. range  will conduct at another. We have seen a good example of 
hese
principles in a minor way, working with our sound when we play outside the
basement. All of a sudden your great killer sound dissappeared, and the dials
haven't moved.

Good points. All things are relative to freq. and the elements that surround
it, and those that are effected by it. Heck our own bodies produce it. I was
more so trying to explain the similarity of thought to ease understanding.
This is kinda how we came to name freq. ranges. I was trying to K.I.S.S. for
anyone. When you boil it down?? -Didn't want to make an attempt at a physics
lesson.(surely to fail!) *8-)
