Quasi-steady-state, rf-driven currents with <j>~30 A · cm-2 (Jp = 1.2 kA, q —2.2) were generated in the Alfven heating mode in a P-0 stellarator. The transfer of particles and of plasma energy along the minor radius decreases as a result of propagation of the wave in the direction of diamagnetic electron drift.
