Any electrical piece of equipment that has a coil can pick up waves as
well as send them.
May I tell you the three weirdest signal pickups I have ever had.
1. in the seventies the local milkman changed his bell by one that he
could trigger with a relay. Thus I ones heard his bell two blocks away
on the radio. That only happend ones.
2. in the eighties I worked with a heavy but portable Bmax videoset. At
home I set up the equipment to look a some scene we recorded earlyer
that day. While playing back I desided I wanted to move the set to an
other part of the room. I unplugged the monitor from the video and from
power. Moved the monitor an plugged in the power. To my surprize I
could watch the video without having the recorder connected to the
monitor. The recorder it turned out gave of so much electrical waves
through the air that no wires were really needed.
3. My clockradio frequently lets me listen to an asian radiostation
here in the Netherlands- Europa. Maybee it feels homesick sometimes,
but it does this when it is turned OFF??!!
So i'm not really surprized when a recorder (or maybee a mic) picks up
any wave in the air
