In case you didn't get it, it was the utilities who installed the equipment and they are testing it now. I live next door to the test bed and I experience the effects.

Where do you dig up this nonsense? The only way to convert 60 Hz to 50
is with a device designed to do that. Years ago, that meant rotary
converters, that is a motor tied directly to an alternator, with the
appropriate number of poles to do the power conversion. These days,
electronic converters can be used to do the same thing and with better
frequency accuracy. If anyone tried to drag the power line frequency
down to 50 Hz, they may get a visit from the power utility.

Electronic warfare generally take significantly more power than you'd
find in WiFi.
Really? What kind of power are you talking about and how is it implemented in electronic warfare?

The power distribution network hasn't changed that much in several years.
Don't be a dope, the power distribution network has been a significant military target for decades. If you don't think people are working constantly in order to harden it from being compromised, well I don't know what else to say but open your mind a bit, you might actually like the light that shines in.
