Can you explain to me how to use a potato as an antenna? Regards

I have no idea what the idea was about the potato, but I saw that the cable that led to the antenna was plugged into the fresh potato... 😂

I saw the link about the potato. The only explanation I can see is that the moisture in the spherical potato acts as a conductor. A rounded mass that, because of its shape, is better than not putting anything on the end of the cable. Thanks
