Folks,
Two examples I learned of recently:
The first, a fixed station, using his amplifier on 40 causes the
electric shower switches itself on automatically.
Second, a mobile running only 100W on 80/40, giving a good whistle
causes the cars electric mirrors to twitch like bunny ears!
A much older example involved the landing lights in the chap's house
getting brighter when he was DX'ing on 160 metres. I think he must
have modified his Yaesu FL-2500 to ensure it complied with the UK's
then, 10 W max DC input, licence condition for the band ;-)
Regards.
Mark.
