Sorry to hijack, but an thought just occurred to me...  When flying on a 
plane, you're not allowed to use wireless networking (nominal output 35mW)

or bluetooth, let alone a mobile phone..  Yet when coming into melbourne 
airport from adelaide/perth, you go pretty much over the top of Mt Macedon

(or did in 2001 when I was on those flights relatively regularly), where 
Melb airport has their radar site.. Woudln't the radiation coming at the 
aircraft from the radar be a few orders of magnitude higher than anything
my 
wireless/bluetooth or even mobile could create?

Regards,

DG

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
  and tore the world asunder
