Where do you dig up this nonsense? The only way to convert 60 Hz to 50<br>
is with a device designed to do that. Years ago, that meant rotary<br>
converters, that is a motor tied directly to an alternator, with the<br>
appropriate number of poles to do the power conversion. These days,<br>
electronic converters can be used to do the same thing and with better<br>
frequency accuracy. If anyone tried to drag the power line frequency<br>
down to 50 Hz, they may get a visit from the power utility.<br>

Electronic warfare generally take significantly more power than you'd<br>
find in WiFi.<br>
<br>
Really? What kind of power are you talking about and how is it implemented in electronic warfare?</blockquote><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

The power distribution network hasn't changed that much in several years.<br>
<br>
Don't be a dope, the power distribution network has been a significant military target for decades. If you don't think people are working constantly in order to harden it from being compromised, well I don't know what else to say but open your mind a bit, you might actually like the light that shines in.<br>
