Being a electronics semi-hobbyist, I have the equipment necessary to do informal tests of EMF exposure.

I don't have 100% certainty, but I'd still be willing to bet anyone one thousand US dollars that they can't feel Jack Squat of any "typical" EMF's found in the home or on the street. There is no comparision of human sensitivity with GPS units; GPS receivers can detect satellites orbiting overhead in space.

For an extra $100 (up front!) I'd even tell you three ways you CAN actually feel "hazardous EMF effects" -but two of those require trespassing, and all three are likely to result in severe long-term health problems.

True. It would have been much more interesting if the OP had written something like "I get queasy when I'm near gasoline powered vehicles but for some reason Diesels don't affect me the same way, why is that?" The reason being of course that Diesels don't have a spark ignition system.
