Unless some of the grain orientated, directional, oxgen free copper cables
the Hi-Fi buffs claim are necessary have some magical properties that make
them ideal for antennas.

Are you aware of the latest developments in this area ?
I have been told that amongst Hi-Fi buffs the new rage is to use special cables
(very expensive, of course, and they deserve it...) also for connecting the
amplifiers the the mains outlets... I wonder when someone will ask the power
utility companies to change all their cablings from the residential houses to 
the
power stations with those special cables with oriented atoms.... :-)
