By the way, UHF television transmitters operate at frequencies high enough that we'd expect to see much the same effects as for higher frequency microwaves. An interesting problem now being studied is the effect of high frequency RF (even at low power) when in close proximity to the body. This includes devices such as 450 Mhz hand-held radios and the newer cellular hand-helds, which operate at almost twice that frequency. --Lauren--
