Electrostatic precipitation and magnetic deflection are familiar
phenomena. Beyond interference and beam deflection, they have little to
do with signal radiation and propagation. Radiation simply happens when
a certain RF current flows along the surface of an isolated conductor
and the resulting fields get too far away to be recalled by the source.
