This is because of the loss of equilibrium in the gussian particels.
They have become diamagnetized with the corresponding failure to
support internal current flow which formerly held that antenna at is
optimum non-vertical angle for efficient operation. Now that your
antenna (aerial borealis) has assumed full horizontality you should
think, instead, of tilting the radio to the proper vector relationship
that fully matches with the integral weak-force buoyancy.

It could also be that the micro SpinDizzy drive in the antenna tip has
run out of anti Higgs bosons. This would result in an unavoidable gain
in mass causing the antenna to droop.
