Eric OM:

        I appreciate your detailed and very interesting observations in
response to my question. I received only 6 repiies -far fewer than expected-
4 were anecdotal experiences in the USA, 1 from Europe with some enticing
measurements, and one rather childish and totally uninformative response
from a W2. 

       There is no significant data among the responses to sumarize for the
Esteemed Reflectees, at least yet. Hopefully your input will spur some more
experimental work and posting of results;  I am convinced from much personal
(but less scientific) experience that there are some decided advantages in
the use of "magnetic" radiators for certain applications, and a bit of
refinement will prove useful to the Topband op.
