thinking I’m onto something long figured out and stick with naps at nap time not message boards

That’s where I am headed next.

I once had a portable tape recorder that when I pressed fastfoward, I heard an
FM radio station, WA1A. I recognized the call letters as they were announced. The music was audible, but I had to hold the speaker to my ear to hear.

This tape recorder did not have any components of a FM radio, or even AM radio. This sound only was noticeable when in FF mode. After getting into the electronics field, I remained curious about those events. Somehow, whatever electronics were there pulled in a FM station.

I heard people with certain fillings in their teeth can pick up radio stations. I am glad I never experienced that event.

Non-HD radio and old analog TV (particularly VHF) is pretty easy to pick up on any number of random things that aren’t designed for it. Everything is constantly absorbing RF energy, a small percentage of those things will just happen to have an oscillating frequency that lines up with a station (or one of its harmonics). Then having something metallic or otherwise suitable to carry the musical frequencies travelling along with that carrier wave lets you hear the broadcast. Similar to how hitting one tuning fork makes another of the same frequency in the same room start making sound too.

Was a lot more common before transmitters went digitally controlled, transmission antennas got designed a lot better, and FCC rules got much stricter.

To quote Bill Hicks - all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration (or something like that).

Radio stations in my fillings don’t scare me nearly as much as the 1 to 50 ghz waves we’re absorbing all day from all directions.
