Effects of this magnetic field on a compass or closely spaced objects?

on a compass it caused the compass to point to the magnet instead of magnetic north, I think that South will point to the magnet (if I remember correctly) You can get around this by using our patent which allows a magnetic radio speaker in a radio direction finder to sit directly next to a compass - by aligning the radio speaker to sit directly south of the compass it does not effect the accuracy.
