My kids were still asleep so I kept quiet, but wanted to measure RF (radio frequency) in our hotel room. If you have never thought of RF, this will seem odd to you, but if you, like me, are sensitive to RF, then you will understand why I like to know. I did three 360-degree sweeps. The first with meter straight out in front of me, basically pointed at about the center of the height of the walls. Next, I did so with the meter pointed upward, toward the top of the walls. Then I did the same pointed at the bottom of the walls.
In the last portion of the video, I was trying to demonstrate different volumes of RF, based on whether the phone was off and/or wrapped up in foil. Since I could not talk without waking up the kids and since there was background RF in the room already, this was not a very useful illustration, but I don't feel like waiting for my slow computer to re-render the video if I chop off the tail end of what I'm uploading.
I just made another video to demonstrate various levels of RF from my cell phone in different circumstances for those who don't have a meter or can't afford to buy one. I will upload that one as soon as I stick the pieces together and render it.
The other two phones, the ones I wrapped in foil, were off during this and my phone, which I was filming with, was in airplane mode.
