At work we have every single radio transmitter and receiver device you  
could imagine .. everything from massive dishes down to tiny embedded  
microwave receivers .. I often have the chance to dismember some of  
the interesting stuff as it goes in the junk pile, and I've seen the  
*most* bizaare antenna designs for microwave and sub-microwave  
emissions .. some are weird in the extreme, like tiny little  
'trees' (best I can describe them) whose very specific shape is tuned  
to the desired wavelength for reception ..

So, I believe there is something to the 'flow of radiation' diversion  
factor, as some of these tiny structures are very resonant, but the  
whole crystal-as-solution-to-all-problems thing .. meh.
