 That surprises me, but depending on a lot of factors, it's possible.

 I've run into a similar situation myself, where the RF exceeded ANSI RFR
 standard by several hundred percent at a guy anchor, but was well
 within the unprotected limit 5 feet away and further.
 There's more to measuring and knowing RF density than assuming
 that X kilowatts is a lot of RF. It may well be close to none at all !

 I still don't, but I do know quite a bit about both ionizing
