with your Radio and Antenna.


I tried it. The clumps of dirt don't adhere to each other or the radio
very well, so forming a continuous earthen ground is very unlikely.

Would a long hose tamped full of moist dirt give me a good connection to
the outside world?

I figure I could use a long earth worm to connect the dirt in the hose
to the terminal on the back of the set.
