Okay okay, agreed Dan, half rectification is not CW i guess since its not 
always on.  Anywho, i can still speak of true CW since i have run filtered 
DC coils etc...  I will say that half-rectified AC does much less in the 
output of nasty RF fields, though i have still gotten those little RF burns 
from touching metal cased equipment in the vacinity of the coils.
