Just walked out to garage, with a neodymium magnet, where I have some 8+ ft whips stuck up overhead. Only one of them had NO attraction to the magnet at all. I believe it is an old antenna specialists ChickenBand whip! Apparently, back in the 70's the SS in the whips was better. However, I think the military ones contain the iron for strength, they are tough. Regards, JS |

You will note that the SS retains energy in its magnetic condition via a hysteresis curve. Art Let me qualify my remarks a bit more. Diamagnetic materials produce an oxide on its surface which controls the magnetic field but without retention of energy. Stainless steel has chromium and nickel as part of its contents which also produce an oxide on its surfaces. I would imagine that the configuration of the magnetic field would be somewhat different and the iron content would also retain magnetic energy instead of using it for radiation. Art |

"So you reject the magnetic field shape of a diamagnetic material as being different from its steel counterpart?" Yes. A galvanized tower might just as well be solid zinc due to skin effect. No one makes any allowance for zinc, steel, copper, or gold except for resistivity. For that, the adjustment is small indeed. Further, Maxwell`s equations are ample for all electrical radiation predictions even though these were made before radio waves had been discovered. No addenda are needed.
