That is what every expert says as well. This is why a
bunch of differing viewpoints and replication attempts
could help us understand this thing. I just wish RS
was not so thin-skinned about criticism - but yet I
understand his position.

However, as to cores - it seem to be known that BaFe
cast with polymer will make an excellent antenna for
AM. And there are many grades of nominal BaFe
depending on Ba content.

Keith - check the Albright patents for this. I can get
the numbers for you later when I get back home but am
on a borrowed computer now.
