Gary,
I did NOT know that.

How high is "high enough in frequency"? What power levels? (Could just a 
milliwatt or two of RF have enough power to cause ionization, no matter 
what the frequency?)

This could be x-rays. Is that what you are referring to? However, you 
stated above "*RF* that is high enough...", and I don't know if I would 
define x-rays as 'RF'. Or maybe the whole issue is just a matter of 
semantics.

Could you please elaborate a bit if you are alluding to something other 
than x-rays or if you are calling x-rays 'RF'.
Thanks,
