Please explain why you think the charge on the folded dipole
would not take the DC path of least resistance.

Because your basic idea is so seriously flawed I never took you
seriously.

Anyone understanding the basic system at all would understand if the
little charges made noise from transferring charge, that noise would be
at a radio frequency. Anyone looking at what you drew and understaning
what you drew would also understand in order to short the noise energy
at the radio frequency the path would also be required to short the
good signal.

Hi Tom,

I've been reading with interest this thread. Personally I think that
you and Cecil are arguing past each other on this, but whatever people
do for entertainment is cool with me.

On to what you have posted...

I'm a little confused here; are you saying that the discharge (whatever
it may be) is restricted to only one frequency? I'll admit stupidity on
this, but I always though that static discharges are inherently pretty
wide band. Why would they be restricted to a single frequency? length of
the discharge, and all it's influences?

If the noise is at a different frequency than the good signal, then the
receiver itself will sort it all out.

Of course.

There really wasn't any good way to answer an idea so fatally flawed. I
ignored it thinking you would figure it out on your own later, or that
Yuri would help you get a different perspective on things.
