Deep Thought Beyond the Surface
Druid Hills said it: "Radio frequency currents travel on the surface of the conductor."
This phenomenon is known as "skin effect" as linked by DavidC.
That's where my thoughts start in this post...
My mind is trying to picture the RF signal leaving the skin of the metallic antenna and jumping into the air where it travels on air-molecules.
That's the most interesting part of the whole process... pushing a signal away from the skin and into open air to travel as far as possible.
Let's talk about air.
How can we have better air?
What if we used a drone to sprinkle copper powder into the air during broadcast hours?
Can we "lubricate" the air in some way?
Come back.

Howdy y'all: John and Carl and others how about this
Take a clear tube cap the top now take some copper shaving dust material poor
Into the tube now on the bottom of the tube place a fan and a probe for your antenna
Connection and seal the bottom so no loss of materials,but we would have to find a way so
The copper material don't settal to bottom and it could be done
Now turn the fan on and it will move the copper fibers in the tube and now hook
Your antenna tx wire up to your probe and see what she would do.

To which Carl Blare laughed deeply and heartily, then, once tranquility resumed, Blare realized that the quote might not actually have been funny so much as it was lovely.
