No. The opposite, actually.


The antenna will develop maximum signal at it's resonant frequency. This
signal energy will then be transfered most efficiently to the radio when
the impedance of the antenna is the same as that of the radio.

A power generator works the same way..the antenna is just a stationary
conductor in a moving field looking for a suitable load to drive.
