Default The Strange True Story of a Radio Station's Transmitter in New York State


In the version that I heard it was the null that the 'suck out' caused
that
led to an investigation that resulted in the prosecution.

Now whether this is true or not is another matter.


It seems to me that a resonant structure to capture energy would
re-radiate so I can't see where such a null would come from, the
wavelength is long so the path difference between the main tx and the
re-radiator would make such a phase shift difficult to achieve.

Surely that would only be true if the power was not dumped into a load? The
power in the load has to come from somewhere, and if it is in the load it is
not in the aether.
