Hi RF fields can do a lot of interesting things. A few years ago, I jogged up to the top of a hill near my house where there are a number of broadcast antennae and other equipment. My MP3 player started to change songs and do strange things. I suspect I was doing some impromptu radiated susceptibility testing. The sign linked below may give a hint as to the field strength in the area. http://1drv.ms/1PnkCdh
I decided to leave the vicinity well before my 4 minutes and 24 seconds was up.
