Well, from the telemetry I have been collecting, it would appear that they 
are turning the magnet ON at MA 224, every day.  I have some gaps in the 
telemetry, especially during the past couple of days.  But it's been 
consistent as far as I can tell.  The bird is out of view when the magnet 
is turned OFF, so I can't comment on that...

I guess my answer is "maybe" ;-)
