Wavelength matters on Caudale Moor

A funny day for electromagnetic waves. Visible light, wavelength around 500nm, was unable to penetrate the fog, It is scattered by the tiny water droplets. But I had 5-bar mobile phone signal. These are heading towards the microwave region so must be up towards 1cm wavelength, far too big to be affected by fog droplets. It's all about the wavelength.
