(and thi= s is=20 usually the realm of some environmental protection authority
= and not=20 the radio authority). the operating frequency varies, but is=20 usually
50Hz, 60Hz, 16.6Hz etc :)

sometimes when deali= ng with=20 the goverment, the best practice is not to ask
at all :) even= if they=20 agree with you there will always be a "but you will
need a li= cense for=20 that" clause.

if you have to ask, ask them if it is their= duty to=20 regulate potential
electromagnetic wave transmission from ins= talations=20 operating on 50Hz (or
any other frequency in the 0-9kHz regio= n, that is=20 not ITU regulated). you
would probably get an entirely differ= ent answer=20 :)
