Hi Bill,

Thanks for responding.   I wish it were a misprint, but it's not...  
here's the data from antennasearch.com for the Clearwire antennas near
my home:

EmmitterClassFreq(Num)Freq(Mhz)Power(Output)Power(Radiated)1FXO111,055.N\
ANA2FXO123,125.NANA

223,275.NANA3FXO123,075.NANA

223,225.NANA4FXO119,375.NANA
It's good to know grounding is not important at higher frequencies.  
Which leads me to wonder is grounding important for the lower cell phone
antenna frequencies ?

I've decided to experiment with turning off my circuits in the sleeping
area at night.   If no electrical fields are being generated, would that
eliminate my need for a ground?

Best regards,
Debbi
