Seems I got shot down in flames when I mentioned this very topic a couple of
months ago. Or maybe it was my attempt to try and visualise how this
phenomenon might take place. :-(

If optical photons can tunnel through opaque materials, then why not radio
frequency photons? An antenna made completely of insulating materials would
at least reduce the risk of lightning strikes. :-)
