No, he says it wasn't used in #7, but it could still have been turned on just sitting on the bench, with a connection to ground. If the circuit also has a ground connection, then the whole could form a single wire resonant energy transfer device with the ground connection as the single wire (provided that the circuit is tuned to resonate at the same frequency that the sig. gen. is set at). In fact even without a ground connection resonant energy transfer could still take place, if the distance between source and circuit is less than 1 wavelength (for an 18 MHz signal, this means < 16.6 m - a good bet in a home or lab).
