Oh my.  Time to dust off our math textbooks, as that will involve complex
numbers.

As you recall, our hero's full name was Bullwinkle J Moose.  By invoking the
j-operator, we therefore must take into account both the real and imaginary
components of all the moose in Laurence's yard.

Presumably, if there are only real moose present [the (X+0J) Bullwinkles/m^2
condition] then only loss resistance will be affected.  However, if any of
the moose are at least partly imaginary, then we would see
(X+YJ)Bullwinkles/m^2, which, by the jayward transformation, will also
reflect a reactive component, thus detuning the antenna itself.

Conclusion:  Imaginary moose are likely to affect transmitted signal levels
more than real moose alone.  Thus, some of the hitherto unexplained sudden
changes in LowFER antenna performance may be accounted for by imaginary
moose in the victim's vicinity.  Further support is lent to this theory by
the fact that most operators whose antennae have suddenly changed efficiency
have, in fact, not been able to see any real moose in their neighborhoods.
