It would be very easy to detect any change. 3 KV is 0.19% of 1600 KV,
and any frequency counter can detect this change. The fact that nothing
is measured, and that oscillators work perfectly well in airplanes
and other flying objects that easily become charged to high voltages
mean that this story is just pseudoscience. There is no physical
reason for such a change.
