My observation is from a previous century. Faraday screens were used in
stations in which I worked. My response was to the question: Can the
E and H fields be separated? Yes they can, (etc)

No dispute about the nature and effectiveness of Faraday screens where
appropriately used -- only about your statements that "Nearly every medium
wave broadcast station uses a Faraday screen," and as to the virtual
requirement that they MUST be used in MW ACUs to suppress harmonics to legal
levels and to prevent lightning damage. None of that is accurate.
