Really older blankets might have a problem with low frequency

Very doubtful, considering that one cycle is 5000000 meters long.
That's 5,000 Kilometers or about 3106 miles. How big is that
blanket?

Well, if it has a poorly designed triac controller, it may radiate
RFI.


Which wouldn't be low frequency.

Wouldn't that depend on your definition of "low frequency"? My AM radio
is low frequency


My frequency of urination is high. ^_^

You must be drinking Bud.


I've actually never consumed an alcoholic beverage in my life. I've
never had a beer, a shot of whiskey or even a glass of wine. Most
folks call me a liar but those who know me personally know my lack
of a taste for alcohol is true and that it has nothing to do with
religion. One of my blood pressure meds causes me to pee like Niagara
Falls. Plus, the caffeine in Diet Dew puts kidneys into overdrive. A
feller has to watch his figure, that's why I drink diet soft drinks. ^_^
