Just bear in mind that every day, airliners are subject to field strengths of around 1000 to 5000 volts/metre as they land and take off at Heathrow. The 23cms radar there puts out about 1GW - 1,000,000,000 watts effective radiated power. In short pulses. The average power would still cook a frozen chicken pretty quickly...

(Heathrow Director, is that how you heated up your dinners?)

Yet everything keeps working......
