Yup. Even though he had a nice President series radio, he was driving the amp too hard and his beam antenna was aligned to skip to the south-east of the US which happened to align with the 15KV lines. He liked to occasionally talk smack to the guys in the Louisiana swamp lands. I guess one could say that was an old school troll.

> yup.

So obviously fans don’t have speakers or Alexa in them, I think.

How does this work for things without speakers to produce sounds? You hear sounds from the motor/wiring?

I never even imagined this was a thing.

At the time the internet was just a slow link between a few colleges and nobody had cell phones so I tend to agree.

I honestly don't know. The only induced reactions I can explain are when the truckers running powerful RF linear amps could partially illuminate the fluorescent lights at trucks stops. But I have no idea how he managed to induce not only enough signal to make noise but to also somewhat hear his voice. It was very "tinny" and raspy sounding. The more I think about it the sound was similar to what one might hear if they had two cups connected by string and someone was screaming into it.
