Almost all medium wave broadcast stations reduce harmonic radiation by
allowing only magnetic coupling to their radio towers. Capacitive
coupling favors harmonics. The tower feedline is interrupted by a
cpupling transformer which has a Faraday screen between its primary and
secondary. Capacitive coupling is grounded out on the scree, Magnetic
coupling is unaffected. Multiples of the fundamental frequency don`t get
any boost from lower capacitive reactance at higher frequencies.
