It turns out that their harmonic output is unusally low, when they are used 
correctly.

I have a short article, or collection of collated e-mails, written by Dave 
Stinson, concerning his tests with them, and his results. I published them, 
with Dave's permission, to my website some time ago.

It is very informative and interesting.

Here is the URL to it:

Beginning on page 4 of this PDF, Dave discusses the harmonic content of 
the output of a few of the transmitters he tested.

I found it extremely illuminating...to say the least!

I hope you will too.
