   Lower power, 5" wavelength, will operate at 4g almost all the time
   (because 2 watts at 240ghz most likely won't even make it the length of
   a football field and is entirely line-of-sight. Even at 2.4 ghz rain
   fog and dust interferes with signal strength.) What 'health problem'?

   That was over YEARS ago. Don't EVEN blame that on 5g. It's microwave
   SMOG caused by PULSE CODE MODULATED SQUARE WAVES, not 5g specifically.
   The 'corner' of the square wave emits even order harmonics from DC to
   Daylight and always have since PCM was a brand new thing. Back when
   there WAS NO PUBLIC INTERNET (yeah... that long ago) the Astronomy mags
   were already reporting that the Radio Astronomy equipment was being
   moved to remote places like Hawaiian mountaintops (There's an ongoing
   battle with the natives in Hawaii about one right now
   [1]https://www.space.com/thirty-meter-telescope-protests-close-observat
   ories.html. One media outlet is whining 'Fuck the natives. We're losing
   valuable observation time.' Yeah... Fuck them too.)
