"the signal finds it's happy spot and launches into space"

My wireless signal is very unhappy.
Where can I get one of those spray cans of stuff to make it all better?

No Idea. It's all way beyond me, but thought there might be some
informed comments in this NG as to whether or not it makes sense.

It sounds to me suspiciously like overpriced aluminium spray paint.

That isn't to say that you can't make antenna coatings that will improve
the mismatch between the antenna and free space.

But I doubt very much if you can have one that works by magic at any
frequency from 50MHz up to 5GHz. Snake oil for radio antennas.

Didn't watch the video and had sound off. I start out reading the
comments in these cases. One gets much more info that way. Now... IF I
watch it and listen to it, I will go in informed already. From the
comments, I shouldn't even bother.

You need "Antenna Lube". In really difficult cases, you may
need to use "Signal Clean", too. And probably a flux capacitor
to get to the store that sells them.

Hmmmm.... 20 dBm improvement on an iPhone ?

Must be from th e "capacitor happy spot" he talked about.

Snake oil makes snakes slip easier, so add some on any antenna and
the wave energy electrons can slip off easier - thus making
communications happier (if you do not believe me, just look at the
smiles on the faces of the electrons).

Maybe it couples through his tin foil hat. So, instead of 'snake oil'
being in your phone, it is literally something you can "always have on
your mind..."

Why, my "massive prong" yields a 25dB improvement whenever I see a
pretty girl walk by. That's not snake oil! That's the oily snake itself!

(I couldn't resist... it's in my script)

Bullshit! By your own admission you're prongless.
