Default Magneto ignitions and static fields causing radio interference?

Actually, a changing magnetic field will generate current in a nearby wire. Guess how a generator works and an electric motor. There is also the high secondary voltage in the spark coil to worry about. When the high voltage collapses (when the plug fires), this generates a strong magnetic field radiating from the high tension wire. Ain't electricity and magnetism wonderful.
