For the physics gurus, electrical/electronic engineers - I see an opportunity for research....on the correlation between magnetic fields around transformers/transmitters and radio frequencies. Perhaps how to improve performance the frequencies to reduce the interferance.... On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

On thika rd, near that power station at roysambu, same thing happens, only this time it is GPRS that goes kaput. Would hav had the same theory bt the gsm freq is way higher than the a/c frequency and calls are not affected. Anyone with an educated guess on that as well?
