What about the reagents? What does this have to do with the function of a Field Broadcaster?

Without strongly organizational patterns in the reagent wells—such as the biodynamic preparations—a Field Broadcaster does very little. If one takes the reagents out of both wells of a Field Broadcaster with its bottom coil buried so the tip of the coil is level with surface of the soil (an inch or so deeper in sandy soils) my dowsing shows the Broadcaster's radius of effectiveness is only something like ten to fifteen meters. I have tried various organizational patterns from colours to homeopathic medicines to biodynamic preparations, both singly and in combination. Having the complete orchestra of biodynamic preparations—those with lime orientation in the bottom well and those with silica orientation in the top well—in the broadcaster working in concert with one another has consistently shown the largest radius of effectiveness by dowsing.

Various experiments were conducted with raw preps, radionically copied preps, homoeopathically diluted and poetized preps and radionically potentised versions. The conclusion was that radionically poetized BD preps made from Malcolm Rae type geometric cards were the most effective.

These Malcolm Rae geometric cards are small paper cards with at least seven rings of concentric circles around the outside with the centre clear. Ordinarily these are used in a type of radionic instrument with a doughnut shaped pickup that was invented by Malcolm Rae, one of the early radionic pioneers in England. Lines or sector marks corresponding to the patterns of each preparation are drawn that are no more than a centimetre and a half long, raying from the innermost circle towards the centre. Since the circles are complete 360 degree vortices one card can contain all the pattern lines necessary for the complete pattern it represents. Other radionic devices rely on dials with numerical resistance values, and the more characteristics represented the more banks of dials one must have, which seems unduly cumbersome.
