But what it works in your antennas.

maybe he does try to use dc on his antennas? *kind of low data rate,


but it would suffice for anything logical he had to say.

Your antenna is a high voltage AC system.
The loss is a loss of electrons.
Try to measure it.

there is no net charge build up on an antenna due to rf.
