Of pogos, salt and what have you

Stu, treating the raw crystals had noticeable impact when Al and I experimented.
Our theory was that the RFI electrically excited the crystal (reverse effect of piezo)causing it to convert the energy to vibration or heat or both briefly. Then it can bounce back (just like a pogo stick) with less energy, some having dissipated.
Treatments we used were specifically designed to take the converted energy and turn that into a form that would not be reabsorbed on the rebound, thus "wicking" if you see the analogy. It's really mechanical damping in action, though.
Any treatment that will do that will help the crystal damp/dissipate the RFI.
I have no idea how a dusting with NaCl would do that, but if you can repeatedly demonstrate the impact, then more power to you (or less power as your desire may be, LOL)
