Fire departments are on frequencies between 135(ish) and 195(ish) hertz, and those frequencies are reserved internationally as part of international fire code, which regulates stuff like fire exits, and which way public doors open...

EDIT: No gaurentees on those frequescy ranges... All I know is that the fire department i work with is 154.01 hertz...

did you know, that everytime you use a switch in your own home, you create magnetic interference with other electric devices in your home? scary stuff, innit?

Whats even more scary, everytime your heart beats or your mind struggles to form a thought, isn't it so that you create magnetic interference with (other) electric devices in your home?  :nervous: (on unmeasurable levels, but still).

y'know, there's something about data transmission coming in over high-voltage power lines that irks me to no end.. just can't put my finger on it though..
Yes, those tiny, fragile signals having to travel along with such dominating, huge and rude voltages just feels unfair :)
