What does all that have to do with the price of spinach?Geoff, in case it wasn't clear my last post was in direct response to your contention that:
Radio waves do not follow the inverse square law like magnetic fields. If they did we would be unable to talk to astronauts on the moon or to send transmissions out into the galaxy you know SETI and all that. Radio waves don’t attenuate in vacuum of space and the only reason they attenuate in free space of Earth’s atmosphere is because of losses due to absorption and scattering....I did not and do not express any opinion about the effectiveness of shielding with respect to magnetic fields. I don't feel I can comment on that question in a knowledgeable manner without devoting more time to studying it than I care to devote.
If what you [Atmasphere] are attempting to claim was actually true they would need repeaters every twenty feet as opposed to every 25 miles or whatever. When transmitting to a satellite at 23K miles there are no repeaters! Hel-loo!
