InfraRed loss in an antenna?

or perhaps:

I·R Voltage Loss in an antenna?

or perhaps:

I²·R Power Loss in an antenna?

Yes, I²·R loss is the entire point (and positive characteristic) of an
antenna, especially if R is radiation resistance.

Hmmm, I·R loss could be said to be a naturally occurring fact of life
along the length of any antenna if we consider the distribution of
potential.

Ouch, InfraRed loss could burn you - but it would be curious to note
that if an antenna is truly an equal performer (transmit/receive) what
would we hear from the antenna when the sun rises in the morning?

As to the receive-mode phenomenon of this sunrise observation, if that
antenna were coated with diamagnetic water (dew), then we would
observe particles leaping (-um- steaming) off of it (with sizzle)!

What an idea! IR night vision could be used to tune antennas!

I redact my previous obfuscation against you Art. You are BRIALLAINT!

First consuming Ayawaska and then putting on a 3d pair of glasses
actually allows you to see the photons shooting out from the antenna. I
believe it is the "time dilation effect" from the Ayawaska which is
responsible for this, seemingly, "superman ability" occurring.

As always, first consult your local shaman or witchdoctor before taking
Ayawaska ...
