Reply to comment by KonigVonMurmeltiere in Astronomers Worldwide Troubled by New 'Cell Phone Towers in Space' by IslandChillin
When I visited the Very Large Array in New Mexico, visitors were asked to turn their phones off, even though there's no signal out there. The plaintive cries of your iPhone desperately trying to get back in touch with the rest of the world are something like a million times stronger than the signals the VLA is trying to observe.
