hmm... not sure I buy it. I would need to see some evidence of the improvement.

I was hoping to boost the range on my rc car.

I agree, this is crap.
The tinfoil hack doesn't do anything good, and will likely decrease your range if anything, and it's just a BS ad at the end. (which is also crap btw).

@RocketGuy- I agree.
@Brendan-Good call. I noticed that too.
But hey- It's Jonah. I look at his submissions with all my 'fiters' on from experience. Why do you think there is no contact info on the masthead? Probably overload the server:)
Heck, the title isn't even corrected. Hours later...
