Has the question of (non-microwave) RF been systematically investigated in connection with the EM Drive? At a minimum, even in the case of a Faraday cage, I assume there will be a conversion to black/graybody radiation. Presumably such radiation would not be unidirectional, but it would still be measurable. I'm curious whether anyone has looked at the general question of escaping RF yet. Eric
