We had quite lot to drink and then some of the fellas there started handing cheese around

I learned about this interesting device at Herculodge :

The Ferrite Sleeve Loop Antenna, by Graham Maynard

Why is it that when someone invents a better mousetrap, they so often decry a history of woeful ignorance about the psychology of mice and secret government-sponsored cheese abuse?

Now, I'm a DX-er and I'd love for this contraption to work, but if it does, it adheres to the same physical laws as every other antenna, regardless how you describe them.

But it does make the world a more interesting place, and is another example of how deep the niche is that already holds ancient astronauts, Sasquatch, and things that go bump in the night.
