Anything in the wireless or open air communications spectrum
will be affected. Think of it as an electronic shower with the
pressure being turned up and down over the next two weeks.
It is definitely a problem for all radio spectrum users.
The only media not affected is cable, to include fiber (this
is if your cable is properly shielded).

"High frequency communications"?
We *are* talking about multi-GHz frequencies here.
