Don't know exactly what you are inferring but the editors of QEX
have seen the light, :-) even if at RF frequencies. Quite a few
sources from the field of optics indicate that the phenomenon is well
known in that field even if not well understood in the field of RF.
Cecil,
The Journal of Irreproducable Results is a hilarious journal that has
had a number of interesting articles in it. One I remember had to do
with Peanut Butter and the Three Stooges and the Precession of the
Earth's Axis (someone correct me if I misremembered). I believe it has
been referred to as Mad Magazine for Stephen Hawking.
Another had to do with a nice compression algorithm that eventually
reduced the input to 1 bit, no matter the input, and since that bit was
predictable as just a 1, we could eliminate that also.
