My imagination by now is going hyperbolic, I'm beginning to have visions of
this Mythical Tiny Beast of an antenna, as a short fat gold cross, perhaps
operating on the Hail Mary passband. Surreal, no? Miraculous certainly, if it
could exist. But I suspect even the resistance of pure gold is too low for a
hotline to God.
