	The phrase 'capture area' (IIR thats it) has a

	specific meaning in antenna work.  Best to
	hunt up and study the real meaning than for me to
	ramble from memory.  That Said:
	I think the 'area' goes up, mildly, for an
	antenna as it goes thru its resonances.
	(Essentially all resonant 'things' have more than one
	resonance, commonly harmonically (f, 2f, 3f, etc....))

	Someone has, better than I.

	The gain is brought up to just below oscillation,
	to just where oscillation is unstable, which is the
	max practically obtainable.  DC energy from

	the local PSU is 'modulated' (if i may be allowed

	that usage) by the incoming audio modulated RF.
