Abstract
A weak-field expansion is developed for a new theory of gravity, based on a Hermitian nonsymmetric gmu nu . Plane wave solutions exist for both the symmetric and skew parts of gmu nu . The symmetric part of gmu nu is associated with the spin-2 graviton, while the skew part is related to a massless spin-0 boson called the 'skewon'. In the linear approximation the Eotvos experiments is not violated. The one-boson exchange graph is calculated. Only quadrupole and higher poles contribute to gravitational radiation.
