Thank you Jim!

Electrometers are designed to ONLY detect electrostatic fields.  They 
cannot and do not detect magnetic fields.  This is the very point of 
this whole thread.  This is a time varying electric field without an 
associated magnetic field.  The transmitter and receiver are 
longitudinal and non Hertzian.  Electrometer probes oriented 
perpendicular to E field lines capture the radiated E field. The 
arrangement receives only longitudinal E field 
radiation.  Experiments bear this out, it's not "proven" by some 
convoluted theory.

Charged regions of dust particals are merely electrostatically 
charged dipoles.  No magnetic field being measured there with electrometers.
