I have no personal experience of this but I heard of someone who apparently once picked up a stations from an electric kettle.
Seemed a weird report at the time but your story adds credence to it.

Technology Enthusiasm! Subject: Re: Remembering a Big Solar Flare March 8, 1989 Martin, you mentioned electronic equipment getting out of whack, and strange things happening to it. Well, I have a small heater I keep on a shelf in my bedroom for those nights it gets too cold for simple blankets and feather beds to cope. What I find, is that during the times this heater is running, (generally around 2-4 am timeframe) I can hear a radio station faintly coming from the heater when it's running. It's not loud enough to record, since the heater noise drowns it out mostly), but it is noticable, and although I have yet to hear a station id during the time it's been active, I find it interesting that it happens anyway. I've been tempted a time or two to get my regular radio, and try to match the station before the heater turns off again, but being it happens in the middle of the night, and I'm usually too cold to crawl out of bed if I don't need to, it's remained only an idle thought. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/techno-chat@techno-chat.net> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
