Mike, I think in all cases you are extending the effective height of the 
antenna with respect to the ground. Did you try touching the natural radio 
antenna to any of the trees? Think you will also see an increase there. The 
tree acts as a very tall antenna even though it's not too conductive and 
actually has a ground that reduces the signal.
