It’s just using the water in your body as an antenna.

You can see the same effect by holding the car remote to a water bottle.

You’ll notice the water bottle gives you about the same extended range as your head.

And this ^ doesn't actually work.

I know it because I specifically tested it. Went from 2L bottles and all the way to 8L jug. Nada. But the head works.

You’ve piqued my curiosity.

I will have to run more tests.

clean water isn't a great conductor - the body is a bag of dirty water...
