Seems like BS to me, like the battery isn't connected so the wire is effectively an antenna

Maybe it just needs some stray capacitance

It reports a lot of people needing the exact same tiny amount of stray capacitance. Also, every other input is certainly better connected to the overall ground than to that antenna, so it's not an effective antenna.

I'm still hopping that the entire site is a joke. Otherwise, there's a lot of people out there who are a joke.

Hopefully "putting the batteries on rose quartz" is just like using another dielectric and further changes impedance and/or capacitance lmao
