Not exactly, Ish -- I think it was the cutoff in sensitivity of your unit. Any field is endless or edgeless, except where it runs into a grounded shield which drains its virtue away. The attempt to scarf power is quite dangerous and I don't mean to joke about it. One reads of people getting crisped throwing a cable over a transmission line (sort of like trying to steal gas from a pipeline). It can work, but the inductand must not spark the carrier (inductor), so the appropriate and necessary separation has to be calculated with some care. Haven't done the actual measurements yet myself. The theory is sound, but you must measure the phenomena. Ben Franklin survived but people who tried to replicate him got fried. I wont touch my knuckle to the key. Requires field meters rather than a standard multimeters.
