I "broke my head" a lot over that question. First I thought of a magnetic bias from earth's field but the effect turned out to be much too weak. My current assumption is that plastic surfaces aquire a static charge due to corona, and the AC voltage on the coil lets it vibrate in the DC electrostatic field.  

Best 73,

A strong signal! About 0.35 fT, 18.0 dB in 208uHz.

Could have sent 11 chars with the 80 minute signal.

Audible at 8270, not 16450. Can anyone explain why the sound
is at the signal frequency and not the 2nd harmonic?
