hello! experience with 802.11x and extreme humidity?

[Dr. Steven R. Hessel]

Dear Darryl;

I have found a fragment of something you wrote in 2002.  It reads: 

The book has some information under the heading
    "The non-existant microwave absorbtion peak of water"

It gives a few references on absorbtion of water at varieous
frequencies, and notes that microwave ovens do not work by exciting
water molecules, but by twisting both the dipoles in a water atom
increasing its kinetic energy.

Anyone looking at the theory of 802.11 and how to break the standard
should look at this book. I know a lot about 802.11, but this gives so
much more...

Since I am interested in the R.F. characteristics of materials in 802.11 signals (including absorption) do you know of any good references on the subject?  

Thank you. 

Sincerely yours,
Steven Hessel
