Jones--Bob Cook here--
Your message rings true to me. Here are some additional comments and
thoughts/conjectures.
I first did NMR experiments in my senior year, 1961, at Ed's alma mater,
and we were ever increasing the magnetic field to get better signals and
absorption of RF input. GE has improved since then with practical MRI
devices.
Pd with a susceptibility of +576 CGS units in the Earth's weak magnetic
field generates a reasonable B magnetic field in the crystalline matrix. Ni
would also, and it is ferro magnetic to boot. Heat generation as a
function of the direction of the external magnetic field, especially for the
Pd system would be a good experiment to run. It may cause the reaction to
slow down and then increase. The Bockris, etal. experiment, which you
identified in a previous message, may have included such redirection of the
external magnetic field.
Rossi's setup with its nano Ni powder may selectively orient itself in an
external field and become disoriented with temperature and lack of magnetic
field, although, given the ferro magnetic nature of Ni, disorientation may
not happen too fast.
SRI also probably has good information on this issue in both Ni and Pd
systems. SRI should be queried.
Another area of investigations by researchers regarding ways of stimulating
nuclei was by Pacific Northwest Laboratory in the late 1970's. Their team
looked at a number of ways to handle high-level nuclear waste for the DOE or
ERDA at the time. The thick report is publically available. It identified
electromagnetic stimulation of the nuclei via dipole and QUADRAPOLE
moments of radioactive isotopes, as well as neutron irradiation to stimulate
the nuclei. The former was thought to be impossible because of electronic
shielding of the electron cloud around the nuclei and weak signal generation
capability. The latter was too expensive. The idea for both schemes was to
excite the radioactive nuclei and get them to decay to a stable state.
Since the late 70's the technology for precise control of the energy
(frequency) by laser input and other schemes has made the electromagnetic
stimulation of nuclei relatively easy. The important resonances are not
those of the electronic cloud of electrons. That is why MRI's work.
Another item I remember was the work of a nuclear physicist at, I believe,
the University of Arizona in the early 1980's. He was Prof. Roy and had
written a text book on nuclear physics. He developed a scheme and a patent
for this scheme to TRANSMUTE radioactive isotopes to non-radioactive
species. The invention was written up in the news. I was never able to
find the patent. I concluded it must have become classified--never to be
heard of again. Nevertheless I reviewed his text book to see if he said
anything about nuclear stimulation. As I recall the textbook had a section
on nuclear dipole and quadrapole coupling to electromagnetic oscillating
fields, and I concluded that this coupling was probably the crux of his
"invention".
I do not recall if there was a section on spin coupling in Roy's textbook.

Hope this is not belaboring the point about the intrinsic magnetic
connection that exists, and may in fact be causative - to a finding of gain
in LENR systems. Consider one further major point in the context of Steven
Jones' finding of an RF signature.
Consider the field of NMR but in the context of RF. The importance of an RF
signal in NMR is not RF alone, but than an intense single resonant frequency
is seen, which is determined by the external field alignment of the nucleus.
The stronger the field the more robust the signal
OK backtracking to Steven Jones, and his slide showing an RF signal - we
must realize that because of the strong self-field of hydrogen (deuterium)
even the very weak magnetic field of earth is enough to see some signal but
only with hydrogen or deuterium.
See where this is heading?
Connect the dots and we are looking at more than NMR, and more than LENR -
it is NMR in the context of LENR, as perhaps the driving force.

Stimulation
After the cathode had been charged with deuterium for 48
hours at a current of 80 mA, the cell was placed in the field of a permanent
magnet of 200 Gauss strength. The cell electrolyte temperature rose to 5 ° C
(Fig.10.) after 230 seconds, After 576 seconds, the magnet was replaced by
two, one inch Neodymium magnets with a 800 Gauss field placed as described
earlier. The temperature immediately started increasing and reached 13.5 ° C
in about 15 minutes and remained constant. The temperature returned to 3.5 °
C when the magnet was removed.
