The old and faithfull Inverse Square Law reveals the tissue heating risk
from 1.2kW at a distance of 3 metres as rather less than that from 1W at 2
cm. Not only that but 120kW at 18 MHz will only present the same tissue
heating risk as that 1.2kW on 1800 MHz.

That we have yet to be granted our 120kW 17m licenses (or tee hee, our 1.2
Megawatt Topband permits) suggests regulatory concern is other than one of
public health risk.
