Started tripping garage breakers and found the battery tender hooked up to my VW that sits for weeks on end. It's a little 2 amp charger so the garage overhead wire must be a exact multiple of 10 meters got to look into that makes a really good 10 meter tx antenna. Wonder how many other things are out there like that we drive by ever day.

Years ago before I got my ham license I was listening to shortwave in my basement shop on a wire antenna that I had strung overhead on the floor joists. My young sons (they are now 26 and 36) were playing in the bedroom above me. Imagine my surprise when, as I was tuning the dial their voices came over the speaker crystal clear. As it turned out, the wire which I had pulled tightly and stapled was tight enough to vibrate when they talked and this just happened at a frequency that I was tuning past at the time. Somehow the radio's signal detector circuit saw that as a radio signal.
