Do Humans Affect/Alter/Attract Radio Waves?

[loganflinke]

A few months ago, I experienced a suprising phenomenon with my radio:

 

I was in my room, and my radio was on. I was on my bed a few meters away. However, my radio had a lot of static. I think something was inerfering with it receiving the radio waves. But, when I stood within 5 feet of my radio, the static disapated. It was as if my body was helping the radio receive the waves. The interesting part was when I barely moved an inch out of the 5 foot radius, my radio got staticy again. I then moved in a tad bit closer to my radio, and the static went away again. I continued going back and forth with the same result, and I could have done so for the entire night. Can anyone explain this phenomenon? I don't know what was causing my radio to be staticy in the first place, so I have only been able to exactly reproduce this effect when my radio is staticy in that way, which isn't too often. Do our brainwaves possibly have an affect on radio waves? Do they concentrate them? The best theory I came up with is that our brains transmit brainwaves, and that our brainwaves morph to match the frequency of radio waves as they do to beta, alpha, and delta waves in proven brainwave entertainment.

As you are a big bag of salty water, yes, you can influence radio waves. anything conductive can.

 

by changing your position, you'll be changing the local pattern of waves slightly which may result in more favourable signal reception, or less favourable (I can recieve BBC2 if i'm lying on my bed but if i'm sitting up then all i get is static.)
