You would yes, but I think you'll find that with with 4 orders of magnitude to play with the radio tower still comes out on top.

Also how much time do you actually spend with the phone against your head on any given day? A few minutes maybe. Someone working at the radio station is there for 8 hours.

My only point was that it’s misleading to compare power.

I don’t have an opinion on whether mobile phone usage is more or less likely to cause cancer than working in a radio station.
