Odd. If you take the formula for an isotropic radiator emitting P
watts and solve it for the electric field, e, you come up with
e = sqr(30*P)/r at a distance of "r" meters (see my earlier posts).

For a power of 5 watts at a distance of 30 meters, that becomes

e = sqr(30*5)/30 = 0.408 volts/meter = 408,000 microvolts/meter.

That number is 400 times larger than the value you quoted. Where in the
heck are you obtaining figures like 10,000 microvolts/meter? Have you
been consulting Woger again?
