Default FIGHT? Here is another W8JI myth bone!

Richard's applications and illustrations do not push this boundary. In
fact, Ramo et. al distinctly offer the case of "electrostatic
shielding" and clearly support the separation of magnetic and electric
flux (fields). . .


Can you direct me to where in the text they do so? All I've found is a
short section (5.28) on "Electrostatic Shielding" where they explain
that introducing a grounded conductor near two others will reduce the
capacitive coupling between them. Obviously this will alter the local
E/H ratio, but in no way does it allow an E or H field to exist
independently, even locally, let alone at any distance.
