In this configuration, yes, the wires are most likely doing quite a bit of the pickup. The custard is more or less a dummy load - I didn’t intend it to radiate

The custard is more or less a dummy load - I didn’t intend it to radiate or really work as an antenna - I just wanted to try it to see what would happen.
I do want to see if I can make custard radiate though. It’ll probably be quite lossy but it’ll be fun to try!
- myth2018 7y agoPerhaps the custard is working as a resistive load of a kind of beverage antenna. It's a valid experiment. I only think that is a bit misleading for those who read about it. People get impressed thinking that the custard was tunned to operate as an exotic antenna.
