Default Danby Mirowave Oven = lousy faraday cage

Next time you try this, put the oven in defrost mode for about 30

Your Motorola phone is 2.4 GHz model the results are interesting, but
not conclusive since the seal is probably only effective for some 10's
of dB's and your phone system has an effective path loss of perhaps 100 dB.
