Hello Art,

If you main the rotation of polarization of a wave during transit in a
DC magnetized medium, it is NO for NEC2. I do not believe that it is
modeled in NEC4.

Yes that is what I mean noting that since it cannot be cancelled it
thus applies to a.c. as well. I somehow believe that it is connected
in some way to curl but ofcourse I have no reference to it. I have the
distinct feeling that it refers to the offset in polarity created by
the horizontal vector of curl which thus means for the case of
equilibrium polarity cannot be at right angles to the radiating
elements surface or parallel to it . I can duplicate this situation
using NEC based computor programs i.e. tilt, but I cannot find
reference to it anywhere. One must remember that Faradays work is now
quite old with respect to modern day advances but then we are now
getting a bit deep for most readers. My computor program predates NEC
4 !
