This and dental fillings? When not to stand near a transmitting antenna

[Terry N4TLF]

I believe your (implied) assumption that microwave RF causes rusted parts or corrosion is incorrect.  The “rusted” parts discussed became rusted by other (environmental) means.  Intermod via rusted, corroded, or dissimilar metals is a very known condition.  But being near a microwave RF source does not normally cause that rust.  Also, this problem is not limited to microwave frequencies, nor certain power levels.

Didn’t know this before, but now I know why I saw so many rusted parts near 5W-100W microwave antennas. But really.
