Yes, I assumed that was so, but in my case, it reduced the
noise to an acceptable level under most conditions.

Only a very small fraction of particle volts is transferred to the
antenna via antenna capacitance. The result is a reduction in
receiver noise.

Would you mind explaining this law of physics to W8JI?
