The question was: "Does solid insulation makes the radiation weaker or

And the question has been answered many times now by several people.

In the real and practical world, no, insulation will not stop the
radiation
from an RF antenna and depending on the frequency and material of the
insulation some of the radiation will be aborbed as heat by the
insulation.


The was the additional question: "And what with the "natural" insulations:
the ice and the wet?


What part of the words "insulation" and "insulator" do you not understand?

There is nothing special about ice or liquid water and the electrical
properties of both can be easily looked up.

There is nothing mystical about something that is "natural".
