Default FIGHT? Here is another W8JI myth bone!

Were you interested in a field coaxial to the axis of the line, or one
that is transverse? Perhaps I could get my assistant, Beaker, to run
some tests for us. He sometimes get a little, ah, involved with his
experiments, though, so it may take some time.

Regards,
Bunsen

So 60 Hz magnetic fields penetrate shielded coax?


Cecil, if ever I had the feeling that I was about to answer a loaded
question, this is it, but here goes anyway - "Yes, I believe a 60 Hz
magnetic field impinging on a piece of shielded coax would penetrate
the shield of that coax significantly if the shield were made of a
non-ferrous conductor."


It's not a loaded question. I just always assumed that coax
would shield the system from 60 Hz noise and I guess I was
wrong.
