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.


So we are at the beginning.
Try then to work without ground.

antennas work just fine without a ground. how do they work in
airplanes? how about spacecraft? yes, i know, you like plasmas that
provide the free electrons... but you are wrong. take a transmitter,
encase it in rubber, put it in a vacuum chamber and pump out all the
air, and you will still receive it.
