Maybe I should take a long 1/2hr drive to the "outback" ;-)) But seriously, I'm no RF expert, but I believe fields at such low (50/60Hz) frequencies must be much stronger than RF to have the same influence on a sensitive circuit. Having said that, I guess it also depends on the circuit being inadvertently tuned & therefore may only be adversely affected by one or more bands of interfering frequencies... -Adam Gerlach.
