This is in no way a realistic test.  A better test would be to attach
a cellphone to the head of a volunteer, then call it every fifteen minutes
all night long with offers for mortgage refinancing and credit repair
services.

I doubt that RF energy at the levels and frequencies we are talking about
here are particularly hazardous, but I have noticed that cellphones almost
invariably increase stress levels of users.  This seems a much more worrisome
issue.
